Everybody’s always looking for organizing tips so in today’s video I share with you how I keep my bead stash under control.
Most of my beads are sorted by color in ArtBin Slim Super Satchels . The four smaller organizers in the cabinet are Deluxe Bead Organizers by Darice.
A wonderful free source of trays and organizers for beads are the lids and bottoms of chocolate boxes.
Also, you can use the inserts that divide the candies to sort your more precious beads, like I do with my glass lampwork beads. What a shame that someone has to eat all that chocolate first. 😀
Enjoy the video and happy creating! (And organizing… and chocolate eating.)
You can watch the Friday Findings-Studio Tour Pt. 3-Bead Storage & Organizing video over at YouTube.
Oh,using the chocolates tray is a great idea. I see that you have the beads sorted by type as well as color–which makes sense, duh. 😀
Oh, you’re right! I guess most of the time when I’m looking at these beads it’s to redo what’s on my add-a-bead. So I’m first looking for focals, then for accents & spacers. I always sort stuff by how I look for it. 🙂
