Very nice system. The plant pot mover is very clever. I have a furniture dolly from Harbor Freight but you're right, the wheels are too big. Try using the heavy duty shelf liner under the bottom container. I use that when I go to group gatherings and have to pack my wagon high. Lol
Give your cat a bed to nap in so he can be close to you and hang out. He naps there because you spent time there. I got some great ideas from this video. I keep buying the same beads over and over because my beads are everywhere! Every system I’ve had, I have outgrown and could not expand on easily. Thank you! Loved the enthusiasm too!
Hey Alesha, TYFS this storage idea. I am an in-bed beader too but every once in a while I like to get creative on the couch. That's when all the bead containers come out and it's a mission to navigate as I have yet to adopt a system. My ideal would be a pull out cabinet in my bedroom that has shelves to stack with jars hanging underneath. I work full time so beading is a hobby and have plenty of ideas but haven't gotten around to implementing any yet. Love the kitty, BTW it won't matter if you clear the desk or leave your beads out, kitty will make itself at home. I have to keep my containers and in progress work trays on shelves mine cannot reach - they love the sparkle and I'm so scared the baby boy will swallow a small bead accidentally. I loved the video you made of the bracelet display - I have lots of wood left over from projects that I can use to try out your idea. I always have trouble with store bought displays they just seem so impersonal. Love how you get things done with the long nails, I type a lot and am a bit clumsy with the tinier beads (mostly do weaving projects) so have to keep mine a lot shorter but your manicures are really pretty 💞💖💕. A fan from South Africa 😻😻
I worked at Jo-Ann for ten years and they always had ArtBin. Maybe you were just looking in the beading aisle? There's also an entire aisle of what I called "plasticles." And those hanging tubes they sell? When they're not too tight, they come right apart and spill beads everywhere. Those of us who have ever stocked beads hate them with a flaming purple passion! JA also will have the plantdollys, but only in Summer in the seasonal dept (and maybe a few in floral). Check for them in June or so when summer seasonal stuff goes clearance.
Your storage space/area is a lot like mine. I have to do the same thing since I am confined to the corner of my bedroom as well. What I’d love to see is your wall of beaded purses! Thank you for another wonderful and informative video 👍👍👍
Wonderful! I have been using the plastic rectangle boxes and lugging the m to and fro. This solved my problem! How simple to look for a wood base on wheels, or build one to fit and support my boxes that I am working out of. And now I can build one per hobby and attach the basic tools for each craft! How wonderful to have my tools and projects to come to me! I must be dreaming! Thanks Aleshia!
Baubles and beads! I put a large dent in that closing store also! It was 70% off he whole website! Unfortunately that was when I was a brand new beader so I didn’t really know what I was buying but I still spend $70+ at that store closing sale also!
Cool! Thanks for sharing. I bought the photo case at Michaels and have all my findings and chains in it. Love it! Just bought another one at 70% off. Stay safe!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your organized storage, I really have to clean up mine, I have a whole she-shed, I call my workshop, my husband installed most of my old kitchen cabinets, and I have some storage boxes, however, I need to get rid of my old candle containers, where I store some of my beads, they do take up a lot of space; yes you did inspired me, thanks for sharing!
Holy Moly you have a lot of beads!!! Love your storage system. I have 3 multi-drawer stands with (plastic) wheels from Michael's. They have a weight limit and I'm always afraid I'm going to exceed it and the entire thing is going to collapse. I have a unit like your turquoise "messy" unit. LOL I keep all the beads I'm currently using on it. Plus my containers of findings, one silver, one gold and one with black and gunmetal. Thanks SO much for sharing!!! ♥️
If your cat is like mine, she just lays right on top of the paper on my desk. You can't win...lol I have those plastic containers from Walmart & I got those square plastic containers from DT 10/$1 but I did find a lot of bags 12/$1....I gobbled them up. I looked the other day & didn't see any of them. I need more. WOW the seed beads you have. I need one of those plant stands...tyfs Mary
Omg..., you’re so organized (I love it). Thanks for sharing with us. I could really use such a storage system for all my crafts. You’ve just inspired me.
I found some small ones at Harbor Freight. They are like the ones from dollar tree. They have 24 containers in a small box for $4.99. I decided to number each container and made a list with each item beside the number. But, I like your bigger boxers.
I'm in S.C. we got a lot of rain yesterday evening and last night...I just bought a plastic drawers thingy with wheels yesterday to put my beads in. I don't have anywhere near as many as you do though!😁
Can you give us the link to the place you could get the seed beads in larger quantities? I hope you are ok, from the Tropical storm. We are getting pounded with rain. We might get flooding.
i know what you mean about not moving the cat, its because we love em. i watch all your vids. your a great insparation. sorry cant spell to save me life . haha.
You crack me up 😂 Because we are so much alike. I have a few rolling carts that I got from Michael’s, very much like your turquoise cart. Love them! Turquoise/teal is my favorite color too. Can’t get enough of it. I had a bead store not too terribly far from me go out of business and I spent soooo much money there, wish I could have bought more. I’m obviously obsessed too. Like you I started beading at a young age and even though I kinda stopped for a few years, I’ve picked it back up a few years ago. So I’ve been beading for about 20 years and only in the last few years have I really gotten into bead weaving. Love your channel. Btw, do you live in Florida? Because I do, on the East coast, south of the Daytona Beach area. We just had that tropical storm. 😁
Amazon have 2 plant pallets for 27.00 thanks for the share I need for my beads. This is great!!!!! I ask question previous before watching to the end!!!!
Fantastic storage and organization ideas! I love how you used the plant stand with wheels and the totes to create your own rolling tote! I don't need anything like this atm for my beads however I have several totes for my resin and molds under my desk that this would work for. Storage and organization seems like it's never ending lol but I love to organize. Love Artbin totes too! Check Joanns online when they have free shipping. I don't do videos but I posted some pictures on IG and FB (2 different posts) last week for another RUclipsr that was looking for ideas for bead storage and organization. Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas! 💕
Love this idea I actually do the same thing but using them craft dollies from Michael’s they have containers that you put inside of them they are like 20.00 each. I got the dollies on clearance for like 3.00 each so got the last 3 and just stack my bins on them but they get to heavy gonna see if I can find some of the planter dollies if not make my own like I did for my ikea unit I found. I thought I had a boat load of beads gonna shoe my hubby this video haha and say ya about my beads how would ya like me having this many hahah. I sold a good chunk of mine because we had to move. Anyway love you’re videos take care. I hope to see them containers here in Canada soon too. Cheers.
Are you in Florida? Thank you for the storage tips. I really need to get some of those containers. You seem to really like the 6/0 sb. Is there a reason for that?
You sound like me. Lol. I have been beading since I was a kid too and I am now 37. Do u do this as a hobby or for work? I turned my hobby into a full time job now❤️
Please, one of the girls who make jewelry can help me with some material. I'm learning and I don't have a job due to lung disease and at 65 years old no one gives me a job anymore and I'm a single person. If you can, please, I would appreciate it.
Very nice system. The plant pot mover is very clever. I have a furniture dolly from Harbor Freight but you're right, the wheels are too big. Try using the heavy duty shelf liner under the bottom container. I use that when I go to group gatherings and have to pack my wagon high. Lol
Haha. I was going to suggest the shelf liners too. They keep things from sliding. 👍👍👍

And I thought I had the beads..impressive collection. I'd love to spend the day creating with your stash!

In a small area, coming up with storage solutions is a must. Looks like you have yours under control. I'm in the process of revamping mine.
Working that more than beading right now

I am always looking for great storage ideas. Thanks for the tips

Omg..., you’re so organized (I love it). Thanks for sharing with us. I could really use such a storage system for all my crafts. You’ve just inspired me.
Aleisha can you share links to videos where you use 6/0 beeds or maybe more projects with 6/0 beads
I found some small ones at Harbor Freight. They are like the ones from dollar tree. They have 24 containers in a small box for $4.99. I decided to number each container and made a list with each item beside the number. But, I like your bigger boxers.
Wow! Impressive! Here I thought I had a lot of beads!
Oh my gosh!!! You are brilliant! Luv your ideas!!!

You have lot of great ideas for beads storage ! Thank you for sharing ! I was wondering how you keep track of the cost of all your beads ?
Que maravilla todo ese material es para vender???
Love that idea of the bins on the plant cart. I’ll have to check out Walmart. Where did you get the bead tray with a cover?
Love your idea
I want to see what you make with the buttons.
Love this idea I actually do the same thing but using them craft dollies from Michael’s they have containers that you put inside of them they are like 20.00 each.

wow you have lots of beads! love your tutorial, what do you for living beside beading?
You talk about paper beads yet I have never seen you do a video on them. If I am wrong tell me the name of it and when you did it please. Jana Jahn
How do you store your tools?
Where did you get the rolling palate from nice
Ask question before watching all the way to the end.
Are you in Florida? Thank you for the storage tips. I really need to get some of those containers. You seem to really like the 6/0 sb. Is there a reason for that?
Awesomeness
Omg awesome
What type of bead tray is that you use?
Shelly Ware I’d like to know too ... that plastic cover on it is such a good idea!
You sound like me. Lol. I have been beading since I was a kid too and I am now 37. Do u do this as a hobby or for work? I turned my hobby into a full time job now❤️
Stay safe
👋
Not crazy. But, now that we know, we will be asking you all kinds of questions. Lol Did I hear cat? I have cats too. Cool.
beware!! those plastic wheels will break if the boxes get too heavy, been there a HUGE mess of beads to sort thru
Please, one of the girls who make jewelry can help me with some material. I'm learning and I don't have a job due to lung disease and at 65 years old no one gives me a job anymore and I'm a single person. If you can, please, I would appreciate it.
