How do you organize your beads?
Does anybody have any good organizing tips? This is probably overkill, and I'd have to look at one in person, but we got a Harbor Freight catalog the other day, and I keep looking at those huge tool chests. You know the ones on wheels with tons of drawers? I'm just thinking, "Wow, that would hold a lot of beads!" And I'm sure my hubby would LOVE me making that part of the bedroom decor. It's bad enough that I have a desk with all my jewerly stuff in there and it's messy 90% of the time. (Creative mess, you know.) Today, hubby brought home one of those hanging jewelry bags that has 90 compartments. He thought I might want to try this because it can hold a lot and I can see everything. I'd love to hear some other ideas before I ask for a huge tool chest for my b.day or something! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com |

Lurker de-lurking - Jerri, these people had some displays at the Best Bead
Show in Tucson last week and they looked pretty good. I think there's an ad in Bead & Button for them, too. http://www.scrapbookingsuppliesrus.c...p?cPath=31_643 -- Sandy Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should just get used to the idea.

Oh, wow. If there's a $661 unit for scrap booking, I don't feel bad for
admiring the rolling toolchests! -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Sandy" wrote in message ...

Jerri -- That's actually a really good idea. And you can spray paint
'em with Rustoleum to match your bedroom's decor. Plus you can line some drawers with silver cloth! ``````````````````````````````````` Beadbimbo wrote: Does anybody have any good organizing tips?

How do you organize your beads?
I've seen them a million times, walking through Home Depot or something but
have never really looked at one. Looking in the catalog, they just look so cool. All that space! And I was sitting here thinking that we never use our bath tub because we have a separate shower. I've probably taken 3-4 baths in there over the past 12 years. Lol. I'd love to get rid of the tub and have that space! Oh yeah, hubby's going to go for that. -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message oups.com... Jerri -- That's actually a really good idea.

The Dr. (Sooz) actually has the best bead storage I have seen yet. She has map or architectural cabinets, with the shallow drawers, and within them plastic containers of sorted beads. The beads are sorted by color within an inch of their lives, LOL -- i.e. dark green, medium green, light green, etc. You can find anything in there and find it quickly. I really love it. Becki |

How do you organize your beads?
I use piles, ziplocs and jars to sort by primaryish colours.
My greenish pile is my fave. |
