Storage for alpha beads

ariesinattentiv 7/17/2022 11:05 am 593

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how I want to sort my alpha beads and was just wondering how other people do it? I was thinking of combining all the different types I have (circle, square, diff sizes, etc.) and doing it just by letter, but I feel like that might get annoying and I'm not sure how sorted I would want it to be. I have ADHD so it's really important for me that my storage isn't frustrating, but I don't have a ton of room and also just don't want to sort by every minute aspect of each bead. And if any seasoned bead sorting veterans have other general advice I'd love to hear it :3c thanks!! 5148b8c884aad_wink.gif

I have my letter beads sorted by letter. It took two of those bead storage containers with the dividers and took forever to sort but imo it’s worth it :3

tbh mine is all just in a container now but my old storage was based on letter groups, ie a-d, e-h, j-l, etc etc

I normally organize them in different storage containers by what they come down too such as accessory beads, pony beads, chain/wire, pendants, etc. Its kind of tricky for me to explain things but I hope this sort of helps. Joannes has great bead storage containers that can be resized if youre looking for some colorfulhearts

I like sorting mine by letter. It's alot easier for me to tell if I'm out of a letter that way, and it makes finding them alot easier too. But, do whatever is easiest and what will help you the most!!
