Ideas for storing beads

How to organize your hobby workshop?

March 21, 2022 is International Office Tidying Day. This day is a great opportunity to sort out your workshop and reorganize your desk, because we know that many of you take advantage of every moment to create! Beads, clips and charms pile up on your workspace until nothing more can be added. Then it's time to tidy up! In any case, that's what happened to our designer Tiffanie, who spends every minute of her time at Perles and Co concocting new tutorials for you. Great words require great remedies! A few boxes for storing threads and beads, an extra shelf and a good day's tidying up later, Tiffanie is ready to create again with greater serenity! Find out which bead storage solutions she's chosen for her office. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

1 - shelves for jewelry clips and wires

At Perles and Co, we've got lots of ideas for office storage. It's hard to find furniture suitable for hobby equipment in the general public. These small shelves, which can be placed on a chest of drawers or a desk, will enable you to store your pliers and spools of wire in an accessible and practical way. You can also place your beading or micro-macramé trays on them. The metal bar allows you to slide hollow spools into the center, making it easy to unwind wire without tangling. Most of our wired wires also feature small holes for hanging from shelf hooks. These hobby half-shelves are a real time-saver!

2 - Stackable and adaptable compartment boxes

Sometimes it's hard to find boxes that fit exactly the size of the materials you want to store. Boxes with adjustable dividers are ideal. Here are a few such boxes. The different levels of the box can be clipped together for even greater adaptability and space-saving.

3 - Bead storage boxes

There are many bead storage boxes available on our site. Here are 3 storage solutions you'll love. These boxes can also be used to store your primers. You can mix primers of the same finish (stainless steel, Fine gold plated, gold filled etc.) together to save space. Don't forget to label the boxes with the product references so you can find them on our site and read the details on the product sheet. Some boxes already have labels available; for others, you can use small colored stickers, for example. Avoid mixing primers that are too similar to be easily distinguishable. For example, mix 2 and 5 mm rings, but not 4 and 5 mm.

4 - Tool kit

Don't forget your pliers, rulers and beading trays. They too deserve to be carefully stored! Discover our exclusively designed tool kit. You can buy it either empty - so you can fill it with your own pliers and tools - or filled with all the materials you need to start creating fantasy jewelry.
