[Nfb-krafters-korner] Storing beads

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I just thought of another idea that I have for screws and such.  It is baby food jars.  You attach the jar lids to a piece of wood with a nail.  Hang the piece of wood with lids facing downward on a wall or ceiling.  Then screw the jars in to the lids. You can mark each jar with a label.

This is a good idea. Where do you store all of your beads, and do you keep them together? 
You could also try stapling the card to the bag itself so card and bag don't get separated.
