Refill at home
Pouring beads without the snow globe.
It is doable and it takes fifteen minutes with two people. Or bring the cover to the workshop and we do it for you.
01
Lay down a sheet
Beads roll, bounce and cling. An old sheet or tarp catches the strays and makes clean-up a shake, not a hunt.
02
Close the windows, kill the fan
Any air movement turns the room into a snow globe. Static means beads follow your hands, so work slowly.
03
Two people
One holds the cover mouth open and low, the other tips the sack. Cut a corner off the sack rather than opening the whole top.
04
Pour most, not all
Hold back the last 50 to 100 litres. Zip the cover, sit in it, walk around it, let the beads find the corners.
05
Top up to about 80%
Add until the bag hugs rather than fights. A cover stuffed to the top sits like a drum and strains the seams.
06
Close the zip slowly
A paperclip through the zipper pull keeps it from creeping open. Keep the leftover beads in the sack for next year's top-up.
Old beads gone flat and dusty?
They compress over the years. Bring the cover in and we top it up, or refill it from empty, and you pay only for what goes in.
