Never seen anyone use tubes that small. Would do much good as they would hold less than a teaspoon of beads.

The regular aluminum tubes have been used before but the problem is that even with a bunch of holes and a very small bit some beads will fall out.

You could take a pair of ankle high stockings and just cut it off an put the beads inside. Some have also used the small filter bags for aquariums or cheesecloth.
