how do you store your jewellery making supplies?


hi i make beaded jewellery and i have a lot and i need a good way to store findings , tools , wire , string stuff and beads . thanks

Hello there,

I have purchased several of the plastic trays that have divided compartments. Those work well for smaller findings. For beads, I use empty jars (we use a lot of Rolaids so I have a good supply of nice sized jars). Baby food jars are a good substitute. Any small-ish jar that you have several of will work.

I have a pegboard on the wall over the workbench with metal loops for my tools. But, they usually end up laying around on the work bench. Periodically, I will clean up the workbench and put everything back in its place.

For my wire, I keep it coiled and keep the coils in folders (the common folders for filing). I keep the folders in a small metal file folder box. I like the folders because I can label the folder tabs. Makes it easier to find the gauge wire you want.

I have a small plastic hinged top box that I use for sterling scrap (filings and scrap pieces). I don’t recall what came in it, maybe cigars.

Also, I picked up a pillcase for $1 at a yard sale. It is the kind of case that has compartments for morning and evening pills for a couple weeks. Why I like it, is that it has separate lids for each compartment. I plan to use it for beads (and the like) that I keep in small quantities (too few to merit a jar).
