I filled 3/4 of the first case and even cleaned up the bead spill from my crystals drawer. Plastic baggies tend to open up by themselves if they are old and I've lost quite a few crystals in the drawer. Now it's all cleaned up, but I still have three baggies of 2 mm bicones to sort by color. I really think I may need more of these boxes.

Very cool! Thank you! I have a few 8 and 10 mm beads, but not many. I know what you mean about older sacks leaking. Right now. I envy your organization!

I saw what I wrote above and must correct. I wrote " I hardly ever use them. That's a waste!"
But I just realized this is not quite true.
I use beads for my jewelry and I buy them in strings. I actually have a box for every string, or what is left of it after I worked with it. The reason for this is that when I make repeated designs of my jewelry, earrings mostly, I may need them again. For this I use cosmetic cream boxes which I had used, or those which friends have collected for me. I write what is inside on each box - "lapis beads", "red agate beads" "amazonite" etc.. so when someone orders another item from my shop which has beads in it, I know where to find them.

Those little containers would be really handy, Irith.

Yes they are and each one is from a different cosmetic company. They are decorative too. Some can be even described as "vintage".
