HELPFUL HINTS

Using large safety pins to hold, and separate different designs of:
* spacers
* tube & round crimp beads
* bead caps
* small rings-in gold or silver
Found this idea in the Beadstyle magazine under shortcuts.
So far, I am delighted with this idea as it keeps these small designs more accessible.
Any other helpful hints I am always looking for..THANKS

This is a great tip. thanks for passing it along. I think I can use this on some of my projects esp those that take only a few rings and spacer without filling up my work box with bigger packages.

Fabulous idea that I can really use. Sometimes I only have a few spacers left and hate to take up a whole compartment in my storage strays. Now to keep the safety pins organized....LOL.

Friends you can find the huge safety pins at an area dollar general or deals store....cheaper as it takes several at times to finish up a special bead...glad you like this...God Bless

What a good idea. I'm still grappling with storing my stuff - what containers work best, how to organize everything - what to buy. I can't leave anything out on the table, so everything has to be put away in my large plastic "bead storage box" - (otherwise my cats play havoc with stuff).

Seems to me, this is not only a handy way to store those small items, but easy to slide a few off when you need them instead of digging into a small container.
