Bead Storage Solutions with Craft Mates

Bead Storage Solutions (Darice/Elizabeth Ward) has individual containers in 4 sizes that lie in a tray that has a lid. Scroll down to see Video by manufacturer.
I did not like that the containers were loose & if the tray fell they would scatter. Lid does not feel like it would stay secured if dropped, but did not want to find out.
I found my fave bead storage containers by Craft Mates fit in the trays pretty good. shown are a few configurations that the Craftmates, tubes, & BSS containers can fit. Scroll down to see the different configurations. The tiny containers (called size "Large"), 12 can fit, or 10 with bead tubes.
The 2XL 7 compartment containers are the ones that come with Craft Mate Organizer binders. Four fit well, but find sitting vertically they are hard to get out, horizontal was better. 4 made for better utilization of space than 5. There was enough space for a couple of the "large" containers filled, Bead tubes (stacked 2 deep & the Storage Solutions containers that the tray was designed for.
Craft Mates containers can be bought separately, or with their organizer binders. I store my regular seed beads in the binders.
