what a mess

Question

What a mess I had last night, I spilled a whole drawer full of seed beads in those stackable containers. I have been picking through them for hours. I hate these stackable containers since the lids come off. I have been switching to little vials but haven't gotten to all of them yet. I will never buy these things again. Roxan

Now you know one of the reasons I don't do seed-bead work!

Seriously, my sympathies. It's hard enough when I drop a bunch of daisy spacers and have to gather them all up again -- and *they* don't roll!

Well they come off after you get the tops mixed up and some times they screw on and slip and they tip over easy. Roxan

Ohhhhh  :(  That has happened to me before - when I used open trays for my seed beads, rather than the closeable flat containers I use now.  It's sad! ((((((hugs)))))))

I find the flat container a problem as well, they are hard to get the bead out. I started with them and switched to the stackable containers, now I only use vials with snap on lids which work much better. Roxan
