Organizing leftovers from old bead boxes into Deep Stash

- One of my most frequently asked questions is what I do with my monthly bead boxes when I'm finished designing out of them. Some go on the shelf just as they are, if they're mostly full. Others I combine with a similar bead box and they go onto the shelf like that, but then there are the bead boxes that are almost empty or full of a lot of disparate beads. I've been putting off making bead soup and sorting them by color, telling myself "I'll take care of that later" and it's now later, so I'm going through this process.
This is going to be a fairly long video. I've sped up the most tedius parts, but it still took aaages. I mostly sorted beads by color & sorted them into these organizers:
I will be sorting through the spacers and bead caps another day (and probably on my own) but the beads are all where they should be and I have so many emptyy bead boxes to sort my new monthly boxes into!
You are like me. You just can't have enough beads.
Never enough!
My favorite thing is to sort beads ❤
Dear Beki, I love hearing your chatter as you consolidate your bead boxes. You have great tips, tricks & stories to share so please keep chatting whenever you're doing this type of video. Love from Queensland, Australia, Lynda 🦘🦘🦘 xxx
Thank you Lynda! I love to hear that!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I needed this. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with all the beads, findings, etc that I have accumulated over the years that I don't do anything with them. Now I feel that I have some direction and hopefully the creative juices will begin to flow once I get somewhat organized. I appreciate your tutorials especially the coversation while you are creating/organizing/sorting.....
I'm so glad this video was so helpful for you! It was such an undertaking!
Holy cow that is. Nice stash, I wish I had one like that 😊
I enjoyed this sorting video, looking forward to you sorting the components, I need ideas for these. Love all of your videos!! 😍
I'll get to those another day!
Mesmerized! Transfixed! I watched the whole thing and will watch it again when I reorganize my Delicas this week. I’m impressed. 💕💕💕 I touched my screen periodically to help you. 😂 Have a happy day! Hello Ellen and Natalie!
LOL! I appreciate the help!
Omg Becki , send that over and i’ll sorted it out for you, love ❤️ sorting beads. lol i’ll be in heaven ……thanks for sharing ❤Sylvia
LOL!!! I got it all done!
Wow! Way to go Beki! I have to admit I was getting a bit anxious when you first started dumping your boxes out to make your soup. So satisfying to see the result though. I think that at least half of beading is the organizing part. Happy creating with your newly organized beads!
Sometimes I have to have the chaos first, and then I can set everything right.
WOW!! This was an amazing video!!I loved it!!
Thank you so much!!
Amazing amount of work and so productive! The beads got sorted! The metals got sorted! Etc, etc. I am slowly starting to organize stuff using you as a model. I have a bead room with beads everywhere. They are in bins and bags and It's scary!! I am gradually (sorta like the movement of the tectonic plates, every 100,000 years or so) trying to envision a new way to use the space. I started storing my Curated Bead boxes in the larger storage box you recommended. I can fit two of the boxes very nicely in there so I started to look at the curated boxes in terms of themes and it's working nicely. If I can't find 2 compatible boxes, I go by the theme of one box and add like beads from my stash. I have to order more boxes. I think spending my money that way will help me get it together. I was very much influenced by what you do organizationally. This video was like a class in "if you want to design, you have to get your stuff together." And I loved the music during your getting the bead soup in order. Such great ideas! Thanks Beki, as always.
I'm glad you've been able to find some ways of organizing your boxes that work for you! I love combining 2 similar boxes together!
That was a lot of work, I love watching you design and you have a lot to design with now. Jackie Jones Rowlett TX .
It was so much work! Glad to have it done though.
Absolutely loved this video!! I love to sort beads so this is right up my alley! lol thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for motivating me to do the exact same thing with you. You should keep up the conversation. It’s cool hearing stories about your life ie., the movie thing with your brothers! 😂 new subscriber and I think your great! Your jewelry is beautiful and inspiring! ❤
I'm glad to have you here! It was a looong process to sort these beads but I was so happy once it was done!
And now.... show us the closet/room you store all of THOSE in!
I keep a large jar of 'lonely' beads. I used them to make "one of a kind" bracelets to raise treatment funds for FIP kitties. They were popular!
LOL Maybe someday!
SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO excited for this video!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Barbara and Ryan were hysterical but Madeline Kahn………oh my gosh!!!!!! Hooooooowwwwwwwwwaaaaaarrrrrrdddddddd !!!!!!
I should do my Eunice impression for y'all someday!!!
Girl, that's a lot of beads. You could go a year without getting anymore monthly subscriptions and have plenty of beads and findings to make lots of beautiful jewelry ❤
😂 you're not wrong!!
I can tell you are having fun but you already had your beads grouped together. Now it’s going to take a lot of work to do it again
I know it I know it!!!! Your rocks!!!! Your rocks
I would LOVE to buy bead soup from you!
You wanna sort my soup next. 😉😂🤣
Good grief I would get anxiety sorting through all of that.
It was such a a chore
Where did you get your boxes? They are perfect.
I get them from Amazon! My favorite organizers: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0822FK3ZY?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=bekito0d-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=4b3dab259f06b30a1f741ae6edbbdf6c&camp=1789&creative=9325
Do you buy beads that aren't from a curated set? From other bead stores?
I do! I buy beads from Jill Wiseman, Eureka Crystal Beads, non-design kit beads from Softflex, from Sam's bead shop, from Beads to Live By, Potomac Beads, I've bought beads from amazon and beebeecraft, too.
Where do you buy your container. Thank you
I got it from Amazon. I put a link in the description of this video.
Actually I'd rather listen to you talk through the bead organization process, than hear music.
LOL, it took so long to do it though, it would have been days of sorting.
How many days did it take to accomplish this feat? SUPER AMAZING! LOL all over again for the movie reference.
Too many days! 😭
