I searched the forum for this and did not find any good information. My work space is in a corner of my basement. I am pretty limited for space. I am looking for ideas on how to store my seed beads. I would like to have them on my table top. But I need to display them in a way that they are easy to get to. Right now they are in a small plastic box with a cover and takes up too much space on table. I would like them were I can see what colors I have and such. Any ideas?????

I get these at Walmart in the craft section.

Only $2.97 each! It has 14 compartments ( Item #90343 - 14-Comp. (Shrink-Wrap)) http://www.craftmate.com/locking.html

And these (Ezy Snappin' Organizer™) I get for $11 at my local bead store with the 40% off coupon. http://www.craftmate.com/canvas.html

I like the Craftmate ones because they have the locking mechanism yet you can open just one at a time.

Then they all fit in my drawer system like this one (but mine is bigger, got it from Costco for a bit cheper) http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_5/601-3725117-0888138?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B0006O0EE2

Thanks for the links Firewife!

Depending on how small the wall space is a good way to store seed beads so you can see what you have is to buy a small shelf and a bunch of small bottles, (I prefer clear plastic as glass will fall off and shatter) and fill them with the seed beads, thus you can see what you have and yet have all the desk space you want!

Just something thats worked for me, but hey everybodys different so good luck in whatever you find.[:)]
Cheers!

I use these:

I purchased set 'K' - triple set. My only regret is that I wish I had more 1" drawers than 2" drawers. I purchased the insets for all drawers.

I LOVE IT. It makes it MUCH MUCH easier to see what I have.

Very pricey - but I have never regretted it.

Keep in mind that I have over $12,000 inventory of loose beads at any given time - so I needed some good space. This system was worth it.

I didn't actually purchase from this site - I found another site that was a reseller and it was slightly less.

Hope this helps
