Bead Storage Containers - Best Deals On Bead Storage Containers

If you are a jewelry maker you know how important bead storage containers are.

Once you begin to accumulate a variety of beads, you must have a system to keep them organized.

There are quite a few different bead storage containers on the market.

You can choose from bead towers, bead carousels, bead carrying boxes, bead stacked storage boxes and many more.

The most common type are the plastic boxes that have divided compartments - similar to fishing tackle boxes.

Some have removable dividers so you can arrange your compartments to the sizes suitable for your beads.

Another popular option is small parts organizer cabinets - which are really designed to hold nails, screws and other small hardware.

These cabinets are also perfect for beads.

The drawers pull out for easy access to your beads.

You can remove the drawers if necessary and take them to your work area.

These bead storage boxes can be stacked on top of each other on your work desk or you can fasten them to a wall.

Many jewelry makers have an entire wall of these boxes in their work room.

If you use smaller beads - such as seed beads you will need a different type of bead storage container. There are quite a few different bead storage boxes which are designed specifically for seed beads.

You can choose from bead towers that have round tubes or bead carousels that have small flip top boxes. Both are excellent choices. They are made so you can see exactly which beads you have and you are able to organize and get to the beads easily.

Portable bead storage containers are an excellent choice if you carry your beading materials with you. They are perfect for taking your materials to friend’s houses, classes or if you take your beads with you when you travel - either on vacation or business.

These portable bead boxes come in a carrying case or a rolling travel case. The number of plastic bead storage boxes that are in each travel case varies from three up to ten or more.

These are also nice if you don’t have a dedicated room for beading and need to pack up your beads when you are done working.

It is so important when you are making handmade jewelry that you are organized and can find the beads that you need without rummaging around and wasting time.

I have found it beneficial to use small blank address labels to identify each bead compartment.

I put the name of the bead, the size (4mm, 6mm, etc.) and the price I paid for each bead. This makes it easy to keep track of what you have used for each project - the price and materials.

You may also find it useful to organize by type of bead - semi-precious gemstones, glass beads, pearls, seed beads, wooden beads, etc.

Use different bead storage containers for each category. I also organize by the bead color in each category.

The more organized you are the faster you can get to your jewelry making.

It is so much more enjoyable when you know where everything is. Bead storage containers make staying organized easy.
