PEARL BEADS: how to keep them organized

When you buy the beads they are often in a large box with the colors all mixed up or, otherwise, in sachets divided by color.

By using them, however, you will realize that, if the colors are mixed, having to "draw" the color you need each time will be long and sometimes even complicated, and it will also be difficult to understand when you are about to run out of a color.

If, on the other hand, they are divided by color, very often the bags break and you will still have the problem of not knowing where to store them.

That's why I have here for you some simple but functional tips to better organize the beads before starting your work.

• The first method I recommend is to keep them sorted by color in one of those clear plastic makeup drawers, in a stationery organizer with lots of spaces, in a screw box or in a tea box

• The second method is to keep the beads always divided by color, but this time thanks to the use of glass jars. You can decide where to keep them and you can create infinite combinations: pyramid-shaped, stacked, placed on a shelf or, if you have one free, in a drawer. In this case it might be a good idea to place them with the cap downwards, well closed I recommend (-; so it will be easier to pick the right color. Or put a label on the cap of the same color as the beads inside. Remember, if the jars are all the same the effect will be more beautiful!

• The last but not the list method that I propose to you is very similar to the previous one, but it's a little more ingenious, in my opinion it's the most functional. And that's what I use too. By the way, what you will only need are glass jars with a metal cup, possibly taller than arches (such as those for fruit juice) and one or more magnetized bars (such as those for kitchen knives or work tools). All you have to do is hang the bars where you prefer and attach the lids of the protectors to the magnet.
