I am crazy almost OCD... I have one large container with dividers for odds and ends (since I do altered art) then bins with my mix of electronics and special parts to make my altered clocks. Then I have seed beads in zipper lock bags, by color, and then the larger beads that I re-use from other jewelry I separate by size, and then color. I have a bead station, where the small drawers of an organizer have all the baggies of seed beads, and then shoe box size plastic boxes hold the baggies of LARGE re-cycled beads are stacked beside it. I also have a beading tray, and a beading purse.. where I carry my beading around and sneek in some bead work when it is slow at work... ssshhhhh.... How do I organize?

We were on the Atkins diet at the time so we ate a lot of eggs. I had a ton of the two dozen egg containers laying around and it turns out to be the perfect containers. I arranged each tray color. They stacked on top of each other easily so it helped out with space. When I took a class at the college and needed to transport my stuff, I borrowed my sons tackle bag which had 3 lure storage trays. Those worked great also. We have moved several times and each time I put cotton balls to fill the gaps and then wrap the whole thing with saran wrap. A few beads sneak out but everything is mostly in tact and organized each time we unpack.
