No-Spill Plastic Bead Organizer – Craft Supply Storage Box with 32 Compartments, Stackable Design with Lid, 13.7” x 8.6” x 1.37”

As any beader will know... beads collections just grow when you're not looking at them. I had small bags of beads everywhere and then would lose track of what I had. But then I bit the bullet and realized that the small containers I was buying, that would hold 8 or 12 different beads, were just not cutting it and I bought 2 of these, each of which has 32 seperate compartments. I love the no spill and the fact that the dividers don't move. I know the philosophy behind the moving dividers (you can create larger sections at will) but the reality is that the beads just start slipping around and you get mixed up mess.So while this box is big, it still fits into my cupboard easily, and it I now have a place for everything and everything in it's place. I bought 2 of them at the same time, and should need arise, I'll happily buy a third, I think they are excellent value and easy to use.happy beading!Edited to add I have since bought another 2 of these and am enjoying using them very much (those beads, they just keep reproducing in the corners!)

I have tried every type of container for my jewelry components, and these are the best boxes I have found to date. The size is great because I can fit a lot of beads or findings in each box. And when they say, "no spill," they mean it! The lids snap locked, and the divider compartments fit into grooves in the lids so that the beads or findings won't migrate from compartment to compartment if the box is dropped or shaken. So, for storage of small components, these boxes are A-1!In a perfect world, however, I would redesign the box to be used as a box to house a complete jewelry project.I would have four of the compartments combined in a square, so I could keep a spool of wire in with the project I am working on. Also, a "double sized" compartment would allow me to keep my headpins or focal beads in the same project box as smaller beads and components.But, even though I can't house a complete project fitting all components together in one Darice box, the boxes are still fabulous for holding and organizing the majority of my beads and findings. Highly recommended.

Jewellery making for six years without a case... what was I thinking? My bead inventory includes seed beads (10/0, 8/0, 6/0), Swarovski Crystals (SS9 - SS20), resin charms, Czech glass beads, pearls, gemstone chips and many faux pearls (4mm - 10mm). Let me stress to you: This organizer is NOT ideal for big beads. Anything MORE than 1/2 inch or 1 cm wide will not benefit from the space, because you will be filling a lot of the compartments just to store them, rendering the whole "32 compartments" idea useless. This box works best, and beautifully so for small - medium beads. As a guide, I've compiled the following:Comfortably holds 360 or more seed beads (6/0) per compartmentComfortably holds 40 resin roses (12 mm or 1/2 inch) per compartmentSnugly holds 18 mesh beads (8mm or 1/2 inch) per compartmentSnugly holds 80 - 100 faux pearls (7mm or 1/4 inch) per compartmentI wouldn't recommend this organizer to those looking to store their findings. Reason for this being that my findings tend to be on the long side (e.g. eye pins, head pins, had to be placed diagonally to fit) AND ended up filling very little of each compartment (e.g. 60 eye pins, head pins, are narrow and lightweight... thus only filling 1/6 of luxurious compartment space). Unless you have a wholesale amount of findings, this isn't the right organizer for you. Try something shallower, but buy this organizer for your beads.I tested the No Spill feature, and yes! It really works. I tilted my organizer full of 8/0, 10/0 seed beads upside down, shook it sideways, and NO SPILL. Even when dropped, lid stays closed and beads stay safe. Lid makes a audible snap sound when opened/closed, so you always know when your organizer is actually shut.Another huge advantage of this organizer is that it's lightweight. Aside from my organizer filled with maybe 800 faux pearls, the rest of the organizers filled with regular beads stayed satisfyingly light. I highly recommend this organizer to any beads enthusiast, no matter the skill. Though advanced users may need to order more - I purchased 4, but wish I'd bought 6.Volume measurement for reference:Compartment size: 4.1 cm x 5 cm x 3.3 cm (1.5 inch x 2 inch x 1.2 inch)2 smaller compartments size: 4.1 cm x 3.5 cm x 3.3 cm (1.5 inch x 1.6 inch x 1.2 inch)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE.I had several of these before I saw an organizer that had individual, removable containers of various sizes in it, and I decided that might be better. It was very difficult to open the "inner" containers and I donated it and bought more of these. They are practical, sturdy and inexpensive, and the bottoms of the sections are not flat so there are no tight bends to try to extract small items from.Out of 8, I've had only one with a defect - it could not be snapped closed again after I finally got it open. It was not worth troubling Amazon with a return because with a knife I was able to trim off some excess plastic from a slight molding problem. Things like that happen in manufacturing and I would not have returned it to a store either - I would have handled it the same way. It was a minor problem.
