Bead Storage SolutionsElizabeth Ward 5 Piece Craft Organizing Storage Containers for Small Beads, Crystals, and Fasteners, Clear (3 Pack)

I am getting into using the Elizabeth Ward storage containers for all my shaped Czech and Japanese glass and seed beads. The tiny and small containers work for most, but some years ago, I bought a ton of hanks of Czech seed beads, and also a lot of 25+ gram packages of Japanese seed beads, and those won't fit easily into the tiny or small containers (unless I wanted to use multiple containers per hank, which I don't). So I got these mediums.You have to buy the storage trays separately for the medium containers; you can't get a flat of those (you can only do that with the tiny ones). There are five containers in each package of medium storage containers and you would want six packages of containers to fill up a tray. (You do not have to use all medium storage containers in the same tray, but I prefer it that way. It is nice to be able to mix and match if you want to transport a project or something.)I like that everything is see-through so you can quickly find what you are looking for (or, if you are not sure what you are looking for, survey your collection until you find something that will work for you). These don't come with labels although the storage trays usually do or you can get labels separately.These are easy to open and close and since I have tiny fingers, I can just work directly from the containers by taking a few that have the colors I need. I find the lids pretty secure and the trays you put these in add an extra layer of security. I am never worried about beads spilling with these (unless I knock one over while it is open, and that would be on me, not the container).I don't think the lids will open and close indefinitely without breaking since they don't have a true hinge, but for the way I work (keeping a large stash but reaching for the same item rarely), they are perfect.

I LOVE these! The lids can be hard to open, so care should be taken when small stuff is inside. The amount of space I've saved using these for anything from jewelry supplies to tacks to rubber bands, paper clips, etc. is fab. I was using some semi-clear plastic containers but the hinged lids would distort and they needed support to stand up. These are rigid plastic, the lids will completely remove if you need, and they stand up on their own. Also, several sizes so I could store more of my larger craft items. So far I have seven trays full of these and it is keeping me organized and somewhat uncluttered (what can I say? They aren't THAT big! ha ha)

I use all the Bead Storage Solutions items by Darice. They are all very well made, worth the money, space saving, and sooooo easy to see all your beads quickly and easily. Sorting and choosing items is so simple! This storage system is simply the best on the market.This item I purchased was for a row of 5 medium sized containers that go in the trays.

The Elizabeth Ward bead storage containers are by far the best storage for diamond painting! The containers are easy to use. The storage try is handy and these extra containers allow you to personalize your storage system based upon the painting you are working on. This size holds about 5,000 drills per a container. Plus it’s easy to label the containers so it’s facing you for easier finding of the drill you need.

I used every possible system to store my beads (and I have a lot!) -- this is the only one that really works and is flexible enough to accommodate different sizes of the same color and to adapt as you get more/use them. I have at least twenty of the trays, with different size containers -- it's a little like playing tetris, but you easily can do it. Highly recommend! Don't waste your time on the cheap fishing tackle ones -- too hard to get individual beads out without spilling others. The only down side is that the latches that secure the trays (not the individual containers) sometimes come out or break, but you don't really need them.

These are great storage containers, however I found a few of them won’t stay closed. Majority of them do. I love the small and medium sizes the best as they work great for me. I won’t use any other storage container system than Elizabeth’s system.

Love these containers, so easy to see what you have and easy access.

The 5-piece bead storage pieces are designed to fit in the Elizabeth Ward Bead Storage system trays. It is a big help to be able to personalize bead, findings, and small item storage with the purchase of packages of five individual containers. The containers can be bought in several different sizes( tiny, small, medium, large) enabling you to arrange the perfect storage system for your particular needs. With the Darice system, you do not have to adjust to the container sizes and shapes determined by an unknown person who will never know your actual requirements. Ordering small quantities (3-5) of these easy-to-use storage containers enables you to choose exactly the configuration that you require. Each container is sized to slip easily into and out of the Darice storage trays while securely holding its contents. I feel that this system saves me time and the frustration of hunting through numerous boxes, to find the size, color, and shape of bead that I need at the moment. I find it very useful.

I purchased these after watching a professional card maker recommend them. She is in the USA so I am not sure of her costs but these are usually reasonably priced although I have seen some sizes triple in price. Wait, they usually drop down again. My only complaint is the cost of the tray to organize the containers. $20 seems a bit much for a plastic tray! The individual containers are excellent and although a couple were a little tough to open initially, they are very easy to use and to see what is inside. I have already bought more!

Die einzelnen boxen sind klasse, der Verschluss geht klasse zu und auf, Man sieht auch was man in den boxen rein gemacht hat und man kann sie super stapeln.

gaan niet vanzelf open!

Bead making.

I love this storage system! This particular size container is perfect for those hanks of Czech beads and larger sizes like 8/0 and 6/0. I prefer to purchase the boxes...and then the container top/bottom separately, to get what I need for my seed bead storage.
