[Nfb-krafters-korner] containers for beading projects

[River Woman]

Yes, I too have such a box in which I store larger beads. I bought mine in 
the carpenter stuff area of the hardware store. It might be a fishing tackle 
box, too. Anyway, if you can buy your containers in a hardware store they 
are usually much less expensive than when you buy them in a "craft" store. 
You can find lots of storage things in the Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and 
my favorite things are in the old fashioned hardware store for best prices 
on them.
