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!

**sigh** i had to do that once, too. i think the last of the bead soup went to a YMCA project in Tennessee.thanks for the warning about the stackable containers, tho. i didn't know those did that! i thought they "screwed" together to keep that from happening.

]Well they come off after you get the tops mixed up and some times they screw ]on and slip and they tip over easy.
thanks! i'll avoid them! i LIKE my "pez-type" containers!

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
i started with them years ago, too. now the only thing i put in them is lampwork, charms, and findings.
