Beads, Beads & More Beads!

After finding a very large bag of beads while treasure hunting,
Baby Girl and I decided it was time to finally organize our bead collection.



So Many Beads!

This photo is from the aforementioned bag of beads, all for $1!

It was a great deal, but they were all mixed up.  We decided to ditch our sloppy, sandwich baggie storage and  buy a few plastic bead organizers instead.

Check out the new look:



Sorting the Rainbow

It took us a couple of rainy afternoons, but soon our beads were nice, neat and ready for crafting!

*The Little Man helped out twice by throwing beads all over the dining room ;)



Stackable

Not only are the beads now prettily organized, but the containers stack up for easy storage.  I also love that they are translucent so that I can see what's inside at a glance

We found these containers in the craft section of Dollar Tree, but there were only 2 in stock.  I checked online and discovered that they were available, but could only be ordered in bulk quantities of 24.

I figured, no problem whatever was left over could be used for something in the garage, right?
Nope, it took all 24.  Every.  Single.  One.

I don't know if I should be proud of my collection or ashamed...we'll go with proud!

:D :D :D :D

What do we use our beads for?  Baby Girl likes to make jewelry for herself and friends as well as various craft projects.  I like to use them for hair accessories, Easter eggs and beaded pumpkins.

So that's our nicely organized bead collection.  I hope you enjoyed the post, thanks for stopping by!
