A Look Inside Our Space: Bead Storage

Bead storage is something that took a lot of time to figure out, and we're still working on perfecting it. Our current bead storage was bought in the hardware section at Canadian Tire. It fits an entire bag of a color, and has enough bins for more than all the colors we have. 

We don't currently have any pearl, glow-in-the-dark, striped or glitter beads. If we did, there wouldn't be enough room. But it holds all your regular colors. 

We labeled the colors with removable stickers found at the local dollar store. The kind of thing yo would use to price things at a yard sale. 


The rest of our bags, we keep in two spots. We keep one of each color (more of black and white though) hanging on a peg board that I got years ago at Michael's as scrapbooking storage. I have one more board, but can't find the pegs in store anymore. 

The extras we keep in a mini cube storage shelf that we keep on our desk. We got the shelf and the mini baskets at Target. We also keep other random beading odds and ends in there as well. Including the animal/fish peg boards that we rarely use. 

The rest of our storage, at the moment, is just a mess on an old bookshelf. 

The worst part, is that all of this resides in our little dining room in our tiny apartment. We are lacking in space, but we make it work.
