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 like to sort my beads but you don't necessarily have to. That's just a preference thing. I get a little overboard on my sorting but in the end it makes me feel better and I know where everything is. I will even organize my tubs of bead mixes from Wal-Mart. I don't really care too much about sorting by color when I organize my bead mixes, it's about shape and similarities beads share. Then when I get to the beads that don't apply to any other beads I sorted, I put them in a baggie labeled 'Miscellaneous'. Then I use the tub for pony beads I have a lot of in one color. When I run out of traditional storage, there's ziploc baggies, glass bottles, and I just recently asked my mother for an empty tissue box. I'm going to decorate it a little and then put some my baggies in it since they're starting to burst of of a box I keep them in. What I have is an organized mess.

I usually don't sort them but it's a little time consuming that way.

I tend to buy the ones that are already sorted and avoid the tubs, having them mixed would irritate me because I wouldn't know how many of each color I'd have

You don't have to sort your beads if you don't want to. A lot of people sort their beads because it's easier to find the colors they want but it's really up to you.
