I had my bead boxes stacked on top of each other. It was a real pain to move one box to get to another box underneath it. And it was difficult to really see what beads were in each box. I needed serious bead organization help!!
Now I know most of you beading folks probably have more sophisticated ways to keep your beads organized. I was looking for something inexpensive and this is what I came up with.
I purchased inexpensive letter trays that interlock and stack. Each bead tray slides perfectly in the trays. So now I can slide each one out and easily view the contents. I love it and it was an affordable way for me to get organized. Also purchased the grid system on the wall from the container store. It also helps out a lot. Hope this may give you some organization inspiration.
Have a great weekend.

Your space is so organized. It's great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the positive feedback. I sure appreciate it. Believe me it does not always look so neat. I straightened up to take the pics. Ha!!
Great tips! You're very organized.
Here's a link to a post on my blog back in 2007 showing my workspace. A couple of the things that I found new beady uses for were my kid's old mancala game board, which has great little shallow "bowls" for separating your beads when you're working on a project, plus an old spice rack that I picked up at a garage sale for $5. It's not only very useful, but aesthetically pleasing as well. I really love how it looks in my workspace and always get compliments from friends.
Incidently, my workspace is in a corner of my bedroom, so my space is really small. It was important to me that the space be functional, but also aesthetically pleasing.
