Do you have to sort your beads (by color) or does it matter? :)

I bought a big bucket of pony beads and I dont have the patience to sort them lol. I also have been using zip locks because I don't have an organizer, so it's been kind of annoying to keep up with :-\

I sort mine just to make it easier on myself. You don't necessarily need too, though.

I just don't have the patience to sort my beads. I have this big dinner platter, and it has my beads all over it. I also have two bags full of beads that are all jumbled together, along with some Ziploc bags full of pony beads, and perlers. I also had this plastic container with the colors separated by shades and style (pearl, solid, transparent), but my brother dropped it, and I just scooped all the beads up and put them in the container. I think I'll take some time over winter break to separate them with my brother. c:

I have OCD as well, so I HAVE to sort my beads. It's really annoying but I can't stand it if they're not sorted ._.

I don't sort my beads. I'm in your situation pretty much: I don't have those sorter things so I either keep them in the bucket/bag they came in or get zip-locks. When buying an individual color by the bag, they're already sorted obviously. But as for tubs of neon or any other kind of beads, I don't sort them. I don't really care if they're all mixed in together. Recently a teacher has given me beads in sorters so I organized those, but that's pretty much it. I don't freak out over it- As long as I know where everything is, it's fine-- My drawer of beads is just bags hahaha

I have mine sort of sorted >.< They are all in their packets, but its all in a bad. So I guess you can say mine are ^_^ But it all depends on what works best for you.

Most of my beads are organized by color. The only reason why some of mine aren't is because I don't have enough organizers for them ALL. I'll use anything to store my beads though. ziploc bags, bead organizers, or even the plastic tubs that the beads came in. x3 Sometimes, I'll put only two different colors together in one space when I'm running out of things to put them in. @u@;; But when I do that, it's Warm (Red/Orange/Yellow) colors together and Cool (Green/Blue/Purple) colors together. :3

Michales has organizers for $2 I personally like to sort mine but I don't think you have to. It's just easier if you are looking for specific colors for a pattern

Do you have to sort your beads (by color) or does it matter? :)
