    I've spent a lot of time and money on different storage systems for my beads. I never kept up with them. Nothing beats tubes or bags in a box or basket, so I'm back where I started. Best thing I ever did was ditching the fancy stuff. Now I have more time to learn, practice and create! Loved this video. Sorting by color with the fire polish was so beautiful. I could look at that all day. 😀

    I love your seed bead storage technique. I, too, use tubes to store my seeds, drops, tilas, magatamas, super duos, etc., but I have them in test tube holders by colors. I believe your basket idea would take less space and allow me to store more beads!! My crystals are sorted by color in the divided plastic storage boxes like yours but I store them loose and use the dividers. Thank you for your wonderful ideas. Your tutorials are so helpful and I've learned so much.

    I have to be organized otherwise I can't work, I separate my gemstone beads and seed beads and crystals etc. by color in clear plastic boxes similar to yours. Oh I also use the plastic boxes to separately store each, the gold, silver and rose gold metal findings. Oh, boy, I also have tons of 8, 10 and 12 mm beads and wire and chain from when I string and wire work jewelry so that's what I mean..If I don't keep all this stuff organized I'll go crazy. Thank you Stephanie for your input on this subject of organization, I loved loved the way you store your firepolished beads, like you said, they looked so inspiring that way. I don't have that many firepolish beads (as I would like) right now so they are all in one box, mixed color and sizes but of course planing on ordering more lol.. I also have a label maker and label everything..Don't have your nice little scale to weight the tubes, that was a nice little gadget. Thank you for all you do 🦋🌸💞

    Great storage ideas, Stephanie. I really need to take some time to organize because I have beads everywhere. I've actually ordered the same beads twice because I don't remember what I have. I see that you are partnering with Eureka Beads on their new collections and I am very excited. I love your style and taste in beads so this is great!! It's because of you that I started purchasing the collections from Eureka, I'm so happy they're coming back!!

    We just moved into a new home. I have a whole room all to myself for beading and a desk area for other business. I’m back to watch this! I have a beautiful farm house desk to bead on, light, so excited. But I have to now organize! I bought the tubes, stickers, etc. And 16 months of BBB in itself is a healthy stash! Not to mention other beads purchased. I just love you Stephanie! We would be coffee friends I’m certain and wine, too☺️😂😂💕🌻⭐️

    You are so talented, every time I click on one of your vids I'm just amazed I have been stringing beads for about 6 years now and I got bored then I checked out one of your vids and you blew me away. I'm on Etsy have been for a couple months, I still haven't sold anything but I'm hopeful. I'm on a budget but when I get some extra $ I'm going to invest in some better beads and give it a try, so thank you for giving me some inspiration to try something new

I found these tiny bowls with tops, 10 for $1 at family Dollar so I bought about 20 bags with 10 each inside so alot. Lol. Still haven't finished. Have so many beads. But the storage part is a fun part right now. Lol

I organize by size and type, and have my beads in acrylic screw on containers.

    Hi I really enjoyed watching this video. I have two wooden book shelve units that I use to store my beads. I also love to store my beads by colour. I still got some good ideas from watching how you labelled everything. I wish I had done that when I started beading. I can see myself being very busy for some time labelling all my containers. I get so excited when I see that you have a new video, I am looking forward to your next one. I hope you and your family are well. Keep safe.

I organize by color and it has a clear plastic case with handles so you can conveniently take them with you when traveling,etc. I keep them in the case and store them flat but if you have the room it can be turned into a tower and set on shelves.

  • @StitchesbySharonH
    @StitchesbySharonH 3 роки тому

    This is really helpful. I store my strands by size rather than color, but I like the idea of doing both size and color.
    As for seed beads, I just ordered a hundred tubes from Beadaholique! I’m in the process of moving things from bags to tubes. I did buy their stand that has elastic to hold the tubes but I have more tubes then the slots they have so I’m thinking of getting more and having one for silver/gold/bronze beads, of which I have a lot, and then use the other for the colored seed beads.
    I’m looking forward to seeing your next couple videos! Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Stephanie! Thank you for this video. I notice that there’s a lot of tape wasted when I print labels individually for the margins on either end. Being very conservative and cost conscious, I try to print many labels at a time, and only use the space bar a couple times between my labels and then cut only once. I use a sticky note as placeholder “label” till I’m ready to print. Hope that helps! I too ❤️ my label maker( mine was also a gift from my daughter) thanks again!

    Thank you, Stephanie! I am in the process of reorganising my beads (again!)... but I wondered, what happens when you do a project with the fire-polished beads and you have a few beads left behind? They're no longer on a strand, how will you put them back in the box? I am still trying to decide if I want to store by colour or by size. I used to always store by colour, but now sometimes I look for larger beads to use as focals when I'm stringing, so I've decided to store 10mm and above by size instead of colour. I hope this will work better for me, because if not... I might have to reorganise again! ::groans::

    OCD much? 😁 I store my beads in pretty much the same way. The much larger beads and gemstones are placed in a storage bag, by color.

    I've got one of these Art Bins, but have yet to utilize it. I think it will be perfect for findings, which I now store in a good-sized plastic storage tub (yes, kind of organized), but in stuffed ziploc bags therein, not optimum. I think this Art Bin will be perfect for more precise organization of my findings. I'm hoping to ultimately do my bead storage somewhat like Gina from Orchid and Opal, with a wall o' beads, like a craft store. That will be my heaven (right now I've got a stack of tubs in my bedroom -- definitely NOT OPTIMAL). To be able to see what all I've got, instead of digging through containers, would be ideal. Since both of my daughters have long since moved out (they're both in their 40's now), I've got two bedrooms to utilize. However, they are both storage rooms right now full of Stuff, so I've got a ways to go to reach my goal. Still, I'm determined to get 'er done. I suffer from depression, so some days are more productive than others. But I feel that getting this craft room set up will be wonderful therapy for me. I love any input of ideas, as we all have different views on "filing", and I'm open to whatever works for whoever because it might just work for me too. Thanks for sharing this. You've got wonderful tips and suggestions.
