Tool of the Week for September 17, 2012

This week’s tool: 24-in-1 Round Screw-Top Storage Container Set, #PKG-325.24

Video by Kate, JewelryTools.com

This week’s featured tool from JewelryTools.com is the 24-in-1 Round Screw-Top Storage Container Set PKG-325.24. In this plastic tray, you can store beads and findings in the 24 round screw-top containers, allowing you to see all your findings, crystals, and metal beads at a glance, without danger of spills or mixing.

These containers are perfect for holding beads and findings, but that’s not all. You can also safely store CZ stones and faceted natural gemstones in them, too.

And since the containers are 1-1/4" wide, which is about 31.75mm, you can also place cabochons up to 30x22mm in there! (I’d recommend wrapping them in tissue or their plastic bag for the utmost safety.)

    Dear Rose,
    this is pretty neat storing. However being a small person, I have a small work bench 60″X17″. Actually it is my old dresser
    which my husband custom made for me. Anyway,it being only 17″
    deep there is not a lot of horizontal space and I am storing my jewelry supplies my sewing supplies incl.my sewing machine and my painting supplies on, in and under this work bench.
    I store my jewelry supplies in two medium seize and one small
    drawer organizers,which I can stack vertically against the wall.
    My wire is stored in plastic bags in a Filing System and I decided that I am going to consolidate them, just by gauges, rather than gauges, temper and shape.
    Thanks forthe tip. Have a great day!

      Nice, Ruth! I don’t think people realize how much “Tetris” we play with our workspace just to make everything fit in its place!

      I just moved my wire into a filing system too! For now I have it set up by metal, then by gauge. Good luck with your new arrangement! :)

    I have been using these organizers for my beads for quite some time….all sizes of them, And I love them; better than anything else I have tried. I have a table top paper sorter file (used in offices) which has 36 compartments…each compartment will hold two of the 24 bead containers. I label the ends as to what bead type is in them. I keep colors together as much as possible….sometimes two colors to a container depending on the bead amount of those colors. Office supply businesses carry these paper sorters and they come in varies sizes ie: maybe 20 +- compartments which would work for those who don’t have much space.

    I found a source for Tic Tac boxes in two different sizes so bought up a bunch. Then the company stopped carrying them. I use for my extensive seed bead collection. Let me know if you ever get a supply in as I need more now (can only find little tiny ones). Looking for 3 – 4″ by 1″ by 1/2″. Of course if you find a source for real Tic Toc boxes like the candy company uses, those work perfect. I can only consume so many Tic Tacs.

      My answer to all of my seed beads are my prescription bottles. I probably have more than the original bear, but I have them none the less. You can use the lids to put some beads in and then close the bottle until you need more. It works great for me. Of course I label them with Word program. I just make my fonts small and tape them to the bottles. So easy…..I may have even seen something about prescription bottles on here. Great minds work alike! LOL

    These are great storage boxes. I discovered them a couple of years ago and have sizes from mini to extra large which I use for my jump rings as I cut them. I label by gage and inside diameter. The smaller ones I use for my findings separated by color and metals. The medium ones I use for everything else, like fire polished beads, dichroic cabs I make, cz’s by color and styles, stone cabs for wire wrapping in plastic bags for protection. I keep buying more of them as I run out of room on my bead searches. I have replaced most of the boxes that weren’t see through with them, they are easy to see what you have at a glance. Bebeaz
