Okay, I'm one of these people who start a dozen projects and then finish only a few. The problem is, if you have outstanding jewelry projects, they can be easily ruined by crazy cats who play with the string or by losing beads when they aren't stored properly.
I tried using shoe boxes, paper bags and Ziplock bags. No go. As I was cleaning out my cabinet, I found these plastic bins and thought, wow, if I cut my bead mat to line them, these bins would be perfect. They stack, so I could accommodate several projects!
One problem: beads could fall out of the little slats. Then I remembered my daughter's recent fetish: colored duct tape. I grabbed a roll and made these:
I still have to watch out for Delilah (above) and Vinnie, but this works so much better than previous attempts. And since I stack them on my craft table, I am also reminded that I have projects to complete--I'm a bit of the out of sight, out of mind crafter.
