[Nfb-krafters-korner] containers for beading projects

Mon Aug 9 01:54:39 UTC 2010

I have purchased a number of different shapes and sizes of containers from 
www.thecontainerstore.com  and you might imagine that if I am in  a real 
pinch, I use canning jars. The pint size are good for holding a half kilo of 
size 11 seeds.
