Beaded Bead Storage

posted: Saturday, 13 February 2021

I was tidying up the other day and I remembered some recent posts on Facebook about storage and thought I'd post about something I use quite a bit.

I've been making these geometric beaded beads for nearly 15 years and love to wear them hanging on long chains which easily get tangled (and the same applies to spheres made using the Winter 2020 Secret Beadalong instructions).

I make at least one new one of these every year, so I have quite a collection now and, whilst some sit in bags, I like having some near me so I can see their lovely colours and grab one to wear quickly and a fun solution is.... egg cups!

I keep an eye out for fun colourful ones (here's a few of the ones I have in one spot) and store them on a surface near where I work and I love getting to see them every day.

The flamingo is from Hannah Turner (you can see a list of her stockists here) the hens from Orla Kiely (these you may have to search for as I'm not sure if they're still made) and dinosaur from House of Disaster
