Elizabeth Ward Bead Storage Solutions 13 Piece Craft Organizing Storage Containers for Small Beads, Crystals, and Fasteners, Clear (6 Pack)

The bead storage solution system is extremely well designed and accommodates nearly every type of bead, finding, component, and focal I have in my jewelry creating collection. I'm up to 6 boxes and I believe I will likely get 2 more, along with a supplies box and a cord and tools box. I love the way the boxes stack together. I love the clear sides to the individual bead containers that allow you to see at a glance the beads you are looking for. If I improved on the system at all, I would have one size larger and one size smaller container, but truthfully, the way they exist now allows me to organize my pretties to probably 98% satisfaction. The remaining "dissatisfaction" stems more from my own OCD tendencies than it does from a lack of something necessary in the bead storage system. My recommendation is to buy this system and give it a try. I've been a beader/jewelry artist for more than 30 years and this is without a doubt the BEST organizational system I've ever used.

I was drawing in baggies. literally I could open a drawer and just stare at a sea of baggies full of embellishments and beads. I kept seeing some Youtubers using these little cases and even after messaging 2 of them with no response, I just started hunting and found a video where the woman was promoting these Elizabeth Ward Bead cases. I have no idea why they are called Elizabeth Ward when they are made by Darice which makes many things crafty. So I drove to JoAnns and they were have a doorbuster so I got the tray with 30+ cases in it for $19 so I grabbed it. Some of the cases I did not need since my stash are smaller embellishments and Swarovski but I did keep them for larger items. Then I went on Amazon and purchased these containers to fit my needs. The items all arrived pretty quickly but one had some disgusting black yuck on it so that went into some hot water, soap and bleach but after it was cleaned out I spent an even going through Ted Lasso and putting my stuff together. I am so happy to have the tray (thanks JoAnns) and these cases (thanks JoAnns and Amazon). The price was right and now my stash is organized and I can give those dozens of baggies away to a school or Goodwill for someone to use them. JUST A NOTE: We use a lot of plastic and I am as guilty as the next person but I am trying to be more mindful of not just tossing plastic away. If we can, let's recycle or reuse the plastics in our homes. Invest in a Yeti or Corksicle water bottle and stop using single use plastic bottles. If you are getting rid of plastic anything, see if there is somewhere you can donate it to. I have so many baggies but any man who has a garage and needs a way to store screw, bolts, nails, these would be great for. If you buy sodas or drinks that are purchased in those plastic ring holders, but the up before you dispose. Thanks.

I use this system for my Delicas and Toho beads. The small vials up to 7g fit easily in the small containers. I like the multi size system with tray to start with and then add these small containers and extra trays as needed. They snap securely, no spilling and make the colors visible. Very durable as well. I use extras to carry meds in my purse.

These containers are part of a storage system. I have found that this is the best way to keep all my beads.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The Elizabeth Ward storage system is excellent, compact ... it just makes sense.

I love these, for everything from beads to seeds. They are so much better than any other organization solution out there -- versatile, customizable, and good quality.

I love these strong. Yet easy to store container's in a self contained tray with lid. My beads stay neat yet I can stack several trays atop each other. I have several different size containers in each tray. I can then arrange them by color or type for example all my jewelry finds are in one tray while small Delicate beads are in another and fresh water pearls are stored in yet another. There’s even a storage tray for my tools. Previously I stored them in bags and other Rubbermaid containers which were difficult to see and sort.

Good storage space and lock
