wow, i so wish i had a room like that, i keep mine in test tubes, and i have test tube racks lol, but you could give all your unwanted beads to a kids hospital, or a kids nursery, or even old peoples home, they are love them and really appreciate it, i give mine to my daughters nursery.. love you hun xxx
I've enjoyed watching your video on Organization. I'm new to beads and at my age its so rewarding making jewelry but you make it look so easy to Organize. I don't have the room or space to do that but thank you for your time to help people like me to see the mistakes we're making by buying from the wrong people. I've just been burned that way but never again. Now my stash is a couple of tubes of 0 beads...I know very little but you got to start somewhere..Bless you x
I ordered my cases today. Planning a busy weekend. I'm a beginner but I accumulate quickly. Thank you for great ideas.
O h, so many, many beads! Ruby, you are so lucky and so organised.

Good to find out which sellers to avoid and the comparison of the Swarovski beads. The video has been a great help, also with the peel off labels. thanks Ruby!
Ruby, god has given me a new commandment - Thou shalt not covet they sisters beads! Wow! It's a good thing you are so organized! I love your ideas - very cool!

This was really helpful. Well done and detailed. I like how you took the time to show us your process instead of just skimming over it or trying to explain it without demonstration. You gave us good tips. I could see the difference very well between the Swarovski and the not Swarovski crystals. Thank you.
GREAT video! I have soooooo many beads and just didn't know how to get them organized...... but now I do! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Love your organizers. I'm somewhat organized with my beads. Thank you for the tips .
love it how organized you are...just wowww...thanks for the tips about swarovski...
omg! I thought I was the only one that did this!
I buy my beads and put them in a little clear shoe box, and when it gets full I do what you do, separate by size . so cool.
if you ever come to Austin TX just let me know, you r.more then welcome to visit and have dinner with us! lol. thank you so much for your videos.
Ruby! I almost fell out of my chair at the beginning of this video when i saw that snowy mountain painting. It looks exactly like a painting my grandpa did. He did several like that actually. He was actually trained by Bob Ross. Your paintings are beautiful. It brought back a lot of memories.
+E Lynn Awwww that is awesome...I wish Bob Ross trained me...but I did learn from him all his videos...Thanks sweety :)
I wish I had show your video before I gave away all my store bins like the ones you have. I love your organization ideas and I think I'm going to reorganize my bead room again.
Thanks for all your storage ideas, I was given a bunch of old candle jars some time ago, I use those now for some of my beads, I also got some mini storage bins from by bf and I went and ordered more of those from $tree, they hold some of my seed beads. My husband build me a workshop, because my sewing room was so packed I had a little path to my sewing machine, where I was doing my beading. We had just renovated our kitchen, and we were able to re-use my old cabinets in my workshop, I have that pretty much filled out with beads, along with some crafting stuff. I wish your vid had come out early this year. Anyway, I love your storage method. And I also learned a hard lesson with the Chinese ;) swarovski.
My goal is to have the drawers/cabinets you have for your beads and findings. I love Auntie's Beads for their sales and fast shipping! Never tried Potomac yet, but the pearls were beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Wish you still had them they would be perfect for my crafting, like winning a jack pot. LOL
I'm just starting and this was very helpful. Thank you for the warnings I didn't think about the shipping prices.
Glad it was helpful!
Ruby Thanks for the show I wish I had a room so I could fix it up like yours. My paint, polymer clay, beads get worked on my old ironing board. My beads are scatted in the hallway, bedroom and painting desk. I love making beaded Christmas balls. I wish you a happy thanksgiving this week and I love your work and birds.
Ruby, the secret to a long life is to buy lots of beads because everyone knows you have to live long enough to make all your projects that they inspire. Darlin'...you and I are going to live FOREVER! LOL
Fantastic organization,i do almost the same & you are so right for buying beads at ebay or etsy the shipping for canada is Huge so i'm like you i shop online in USA only at the same beading store has you do! thank you Hun for your time to do this fabulous video,Luv Ya sweetie xoxoxoxo
First off Ruby, I want to thank you for all the wonderful tutorials you offer here on RUclips. Second, I went to the Harbor Freight Tools web site and they offer some bins that are similar in what you are using for anybody interested. It's called a "40 Bin Organizer with a Full Length Drawer" They run regular price $24.99 but go on sale once in awhile for $14.99. It's worth checking out to see if it is something you might find of interest.
Wow, you have a lot of beads, lol. Love your organization, it makes it so you can find what you want without hunting all over. Thank you for doing this video. I cant believe the difference between the Chinese and Swarovski crystals. The colors don't look anything alike. I noticed the Chinese ones are yellowed and cloudy. That's good to know.
THANK YOU for sharing your ideas & your "treasures"! 😊
I love how sassy and hot and bothered this lady is about her quality of gems and turquoise and beads. I’m the SAME way. I only buy natural and nicely stabilized turquoise from Kingman on Etsy, the Ottesons on Instagram and certain sellers On Etsy who I message first to make sure they’re legit. Czech beads are indeed fantastic
Wow! I am so jealous. You are the best organizer.....visit me in Norway and help me! I am very impressed! Thanks for showing us and educating us on where to by from. It is harder to get things shipped to Norway, I am still trying to figure it out. Great job!
GREAT tips Ruby! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
I'm so glad you showed the difference in crystal (between China vs Swarovski). I had considered them, but remained hesitant. So glad of that.
I've shopped all the places you mentioned and love them. I, too, am choosy about things from Artbeads. I find their stuff gorgeous, but prices remain a bit higher. And I HATE this bit with ONE bead purchasing. Who buys that way? I hope they were listening!!
LOVE your organization. I've started purchasing a few of these hardware storage containers. Now...just to get my stuff out of my larger drawers and into them.....so hard to find the time, it seems. Thank you so much for sharing your process. It's a FANTASTIC system.
+Victoria Smith I sure hope they were too...when we do big projects...who wants to buy one bead at a time...in the end you could of bought a whole factory pack with more crystals and less the price...I promise you all when I shop around and find deals I will post them on my facebook page like I did yesterday...for the half price pearls...I am going to see if they are the czech pearls or just glass pearls...Have a wonderful day...
Hey RUBY so cool i am seeing u here,, i am going to watch this take note and try to apply,,i so need a helper deparately,look forward to seeing some more of your work talk to ya later
Thank you so much for the advice, too, on where to buy beads from. I bought a small pack of Swarvoski beads from Ebay, and luckily didn't spend much
Ruby I am new to your site! I first of all want to say I LOVE YOU AND YOUR personality! Thank you for all that you teach us! I am in KC and getting ready to retire in a couple years and been stocking up on jewelry supplies so I can play full time. Thanks for tips tricks and ideas! Your Simply A Blast!! Joyce : )
Those paintings are gorgeous! Thanks for the tip about the Swarovski vs Chinese crystal. I was wondering about it because I bought some crystal from my local bead store and when using them i noticed that the holes didn't line up. I asked the bead store if it was Chinese or Czech and she said that it was Chinese. The strand cost me $14. I fully support local business but I felt like I got jipped because for the quality that they ended up being kind of frustrated me. Being a newbie this kind of info helps. Thanks a bunch!
Ruby use your china junk on memory wire bracelets. Older ladies would love them easy on easy off. Kids love mixed beads on memory wire too. Mix different colors on every bracelets. My sister didn't know what she was buying so I have lots when she passed away it all came to me. So that is one way to use them & take to craft shows and I know you will be able to sell them at a lesser price. I love Jill Wiseman goodies too. Have a great holiday season. God Bless
Thank you! I really enjoyed your video and learned a lot! As I get more advanced on my jewelry making I will buy better quality and look for sales.Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your Bead Room..if you soak your bead tubs, in warm to hot water for about 20 mins, they will then be able to peel off with no sticky bits left..... X
Thank you Ruby, this was very helpful. I am in the midst of reorganizing my craft room that is currently in a mess. I loved your hints on where to shop and with whom. Keep up the good work. Sandy.
Fabulous tips...thanks! Love how you organize!

this was so helpful Ruby!!! Omg those Chinese beads are horrible! I do not buy anything but swaroski. it takes it way longer for me to get from fire mountain. usually 10-15 days but it's worth it. Jill ships out so fast! I love it!

Hello fellow Thunder Bayer .Love watching your videos
+Laurie McGauley Hole Hello to you too!! Thanks for watching!! :)
Laurie Mc I’m a Thunder Bayer too 🙂
Thanks so much for the tips regarding Etsy and EBay and the difference between the real thing and the China knock-offs!
It's spectacular!!! Thanks so much for showing and sharing your crafting room, I'll be trying to make mine organized as yours, love the way you have done your beads, someday!!! Many blessings on your way _/o\_ ♡☆
wow ruby i am blown away
love your collection of sawovski's and your storage has given me heaps of ideas i am new to beading,
thank you😊
ps your paintings are amazing, bery talented
I like your video it was helpful. I'm new at jewelry making and I don't know all the names of the beads. Can you do a tutorial on the names of different beads and show them up close so they can be seen as you tell them name of each bead. Thank you so much
Oh goodness! Ruby where did you get the big paper sacks of swavorski crystals! Hope they were an awesome deal! LOVE LOVE your videos!!
+Christen Tyler Yes they were on sale..65.00 from Aunties Beads :))))
Holy cow! What a deal!
Thanks for sharing Ruby this has helped a lot👍
Thanks for the tips on how you store away all the things you have bye see y’a online.
hi Ruby love the way you are organized. One Q where do you buy your 15\0 n could you make a vid on your favorite stores you like to buy from
Ruby this is totally going to change the way I store my beads. If your planning to give away some beads I teach classes at my local library and 99% of the time I'm donating my beads for up to 20 women. I really just love teaching. So drop me a line if you would consider doing even just a few. Thanks and Have a great spring.
hi Ruby i watch and learn a lot watching your channel. i am on a fix budget i had 3 stroke but i am still living thank God. if you have any beads you are want to get rid of or sale let me know. thank you
Ruby where do you buy the different sizes of tubes? Can you buy them off the internet. You like to buy the same way I do. You're very right about china's beads and almost if not everything else They sell. I waited almost 2 and a half months for some "Gold Leaf Leaves (50) count. They never showed and they were trying to sell me more of the same item, yet I hadn't gotten my first order. I will never order any beads off of ebay. Only like you said from Fire Mountain or one of the others. Thanks for the great great info. Mike
Nice organization. I go a bit further and figure price per bead (using average amount per gram). I sell my jewelry, so that helps when it comes to pricing. I've gone through a few different ways to organize my stash :-)
When I first started, I did buy "swarovski crystals" on Ebay....I know better now, I don't use those beads in my product. I call them Chine-ovskis.
hi what do you do with tour finished pieces please? I have only just taken up beadwork so love your clear tuts. thank you
hi ruby u r very arranged person and thx alot for all ur amazing toutrail and give away contest u r making always. I'm interesting in ur Chinese beads if u want to sell it and the price fit my budget. thx alot on advanced fot ur time
I love looking at this video! I have a question: how do you organize your wires/thread/cords now? I see that you have it in a box.
thank you for your videos
Good job I like it I am try to do the same way 👍🏻
Hello, I stumbled across your channel and was just blown away by how organised you are!!!!!!!! Could you please tell me what floor lights you have there at your desk? I'm in Canada too and am looking to buy really good lights for embroidery work. TIA!
+Fleur Delise Hi there...here is a link to the Amazon where I purchased my lamps...hope that helps you out :).... www.amazon.ca/Daylight-Naturalight-Hobby-Floor-Lamp/dp/B0021GKBT6/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1445451469&sr=8-16&keywords=Floor+lamps
+Ruby Lockwood Thank you for replying! I could have sworn they were the OTTLITE brand. This gives me options. TFS!
So helpful! Thanks so much for all the info. ♥
Wow that's awesome! You have quite a collection. I don't know if you do or not but since beads are not cheap do you carry insurance in case of damage or if stolen? Most people just keep collecting and never realized how much they have. This is just a suggestion if you are really in to the craft to cover yourself so you don't get burned. I hope this helps those of you who are doing crafts. Take care and God bless.
thanks for all the advise!
hi Ruby have you looked at shipwreck beads good place to shop... love your tuts
+Bonnie King Yes I have checked out some of their stuff...and I usually just shop until I find the best price before I hit that pay now button LOL Thank you Bonnie :)
Love your bead organize tips. Do you keep records of the colors you have in stock or do just look through you bins?
This is a great idea, perfect for keeping from getting frustrated and overwhelmed. You've given me several ideas. Thanks! God bless you! John 3:16-21; Romans 10:8-13
Love you! Watch you from Texas!
Ruby, if you are just putting them in seperated sizes. what about cost. I have to keep track of the prices in order to price things after I make them.
Love your video Ruby! I am new to all this. I gave you thumps up and subscribed! Thank you so much! :)
A good Swarovski seller in UK is JSR Beads, who sell 50 x 4mm Swarovski bicones for £2.49 ($3.86) with excellent delivery times
Thanks so much for your video. I am in the process of organizing my beads, and have also learned the hard way about ordering beads on line. I also live in Canada (BC), so most of my stuff comes from US. Where do you live?
Hi Ruby, I'm a new fan and am wondering if you actually USE your beads or just sorta collect them cuz it feels soo good to have lots of stuff "ready in case"? I do know how good it feels to collect (and maybe even a bit of hoarding..) goodies to make things with. Love to see what you make!! Oh, and why not buy real pearls?
I bought a dozen metal cabinets with 39 plastic drawers in each from www.Harbor Freight.com for $14.99 each. I haven't returned to the website or store in over 2 yrs but they are super for my needs. If you find them on the website verify their shipping costs. Years ago I told a friend about the units, she ordered 10 and shipping was $5.00 flat rate. (I purchased mine about 8 yrs ago.)
My apologies. For some reason this video appeared in my RUclips list. I had no idea you had decided to stop doing beadwork. As my late Mother always said 'the only thing constant is change'. Knowing when to 'move on' is important. Life is a journey, a different path usually necessitates change. And enjoying the journey is imperative.
Love your video! Thanks so much : ) Could you please tell me where you ordered those tubes? I can't hear it on the video. Thanks again!!!
I sell tubes in my shop hun..but right now we are on vacation but my Etsy shop if on my channel ..at the top right bottom of my large picture...the link is there..:)
If you want your paintings to dry faster, put them in your car, in the back window. That's how mine dry fast for classes ;) Also if the Titanium white yellows in your paintings, again put the canvas in the back window of your car or your table where the sun will bleach out the white in a few days.
love it
Love you organizing
This video was so helpfull Ruby!! Thank you so much =)
My husband thinks i have a lot of beads, he would think I'm crazy if I had half of what you have. But I like your big stash.
I know this is several years ago since you made this video, I was wondering if you create and invoice before organization? Love your organization by the way!
No hun I do not
what size storage bags do you buy for bracelets to store in after they are made and ready to sell?
hi , ty for sharing. so where do u get all of beads at again ? ty
What does AB mean? As my ? may tell you I am new to jewelry making, loved your video. Very informative , TYFS .
its a coating on beads Aurora Borealis....AB....its gives it an extra boost of color and sparkle...
Beading & Papercrafting With Ruby Thank you very much.
Why do you dump the beads on your beading mat and then pick them up with your triangle scoop? Why don't you dump them directly into your scoop? Your scoop is wonderful though, and I need to get me one! Love your organization of your beads!
Hi Ruby~! where did you purchase the plastic storage cabinets with drawers?
Aaaaa Ruby miss you.... What you do minimized your hobby???
Do you keep track of what you paid for an otem so you know what it cost to make a bracelet or necklsce, etc?
Good Evening Ruby!
I saw that you don't like using the Chinese beads, at all. If it isn't much trouble, I would like to somehow obtain them, that way they're out of your drawers and you don't have to look at how ugly they are.
If not, then no big deal. Thought I'd help you since you don't use them. :)
Let me know when you get the chance. xoxo~
-Autumn.
Fire Mountain Gems is wonderful for swarvo pearls. prices are so good on them
+Cathy Goldade Yes they are and the crystals...love love love them!!
What size vials do you use?
Ive looked through 100s of hours on how to store my beads.
I found you
Now I need the size of the vials
-It would cut back on beadaholiques cost making smaller tags or doing multiple per sheet in the long run in addition to user convenience. :)
I'm so unorganized. I have so much of each item storage would make it so nice. If I dumped everything in a box it would take about 6-7 big flip top bin's if not more. It would take a bin or more of crystal bicone and fire polish. I need help when can you fly out! I'll pay your way lol. I have a great size room with counter space half way around the room it's anyone's dream the counter space. I just have to start some time and dive in :)
also when i ghet my shipments in i do the same put them all in a box but from there they dont get in the organizer now i have a deep disaster,,i need professional help either getting this organized or going to a 12 step addiction of beads because i buy buy buy and its random with no thought except the price i got them for,,so from 3 shoe boxes fro all my supplies 2 years ago ,to a room filled to the brim,, i dont know where to start,,well i didnt now with your help here i have a bit of an idea
I’m just starting to bead don’t want to spend alot do you know how is jewelry supply is to purchase beads,and bead 3 supply please let me know
I live way up north I would love to get your Chinese beads and any other that you don't want .
Love you tutorial
How much do you want for the unwanted beads ? I may be interested...
