The easiest way to paint wooden beads without them rolling off of the table, is to apply a tiny drop of hot glue to lightly secure Round Unfinished Wood Beads to a Bamboo Skewer.  Paint the beads with a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint.  Once the beads are dry, remove the beads from the skewer.
