Do you know anyone that has baby food jars
they are really great. Another one is old
prescription bottles. Even small yogurt containers
that you can put cool labels on and write the names
of what you have stored work pretty good.
Check out the thrift store for some containers
or old spice jars.

I love the little boxes with compartments. I've also found film canisters and small tubes (I got some beads that came in 'em) to be very hand for bead transportation. Just be really careful if you move, because there is nothing quite as bad as trying to sort out a few million seed beads. (The bigger ones are a pain, too.)

Use those plastic containers and caardboard pieces. Slide the cardboard into the box standing up, and make little storage for different beads, just a suggestion!

go to Home Depot or Lowe's and find the largest drawer system or the type that can be combined with different sizes.
Use mailing labels to label each drawer. I have two of the 30 drawer type in the closet, with more than just beads, and it is great. The kids have stopped asking where's a paper clip, rubberband, etc...

properly once I first began beading, I additionally confronted the comparable situation. i offered a number of categories of beads yet remembered some storage container once I reached abode. So all I did grew to become into I had a sparkling spice rack with a number of bottles aranged smartly and regarded very alluring ( that grew to become into why I hadn't used them) and that i saved my beads in those spice bottles. One style in one bottle, yet another style in yet another bottle. i might desire to even show it on my artwork table as a coach piece and later while my inventory grew, i offered one extra alluring spice rack to keep the hot beads.

i use the little boxes with compartments. another thing i use is a pegboard with the hooks, etc for screwdrivers and other tools-necklaces and such hang great here and if you use seed beads, the brands that have little hangers on the lids can be hung here, too

recycle...use old pill/medicines bottles, just take the label off and you should be able to see through it enough to tell what kind/colors of beads are stored in there.
