Darice Elizabeth Ward 45 Piece Assorted Portable Diamond Painting Storage and Bead Organizer with 42 Variable Sized Containers

Used for Diamond painting beads. Love how organized everything is. Makes all the beads so much easier to see

Was intrigued when I saw this storage system, seemed like it just might be exactly what i needed, but it was pricey, plus i've tried so many things that seemed promising. Then amazon dropped the price and I bit. Arrived yesterday and i spent the morning sorting all my boxes, tubes, and packets of beads into it - I love it so much more than I thought I would. I ordered a 2nd one today.Pros: Sturdy and well-made. The outer lid snaps on nicely and holds all the containers very well, they aren't going to fall out. And then the lid removes easily and out of the way. You can do your beading on the top of it, if you want. There's a rim to catch any stray beads. The little containers are great, lids snap tight, but open wide. I like how easy it is to see everything you have, how you can configure the container sizes for your specific beads and needs. The set is stackable. I'm putting all my findings in a 2nd one, and pretty sure I'll be getting a 3rd one just for my charms. You can tell beaders designed this thing. It's very functional and also seeing all your beads is inspiring. Also you don't keep buying dupes!Cons: Only con, and it's a very small one, is I wish the outer lid snapped on a bit more snugly. It's not loose by any means, it fastens well, i'm just persnickety like that.I'm only one day in on this, so who knows how well it will all hold up. I'll update if my opinion changes down the line. For now, i'm super happy with it. I hope they don't discontinue it.

I did a lot of research before buying this product since it's a bit pricey and because it isn't available in store where I live. However, it's worth every single penny, especially if you buy it on sale like I did. My only regret? Not finding out about this product sooner. I own thousands of beads and have so many different organizers from the dollar store, fishing supply shops, and craft stores. This is hands down THE best system I have ever used for small items like beads, findings, buttons, and sequins.I knew I would like it, so I bought 3 of the 82-piece and 3 of the 45-piece Darice Elizabeth Ward bead storage trays. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and will definitely be buying more. The package arrived very quickly, but FYI it was very heavy having all 6 in the same box. My poor mailman could barely carry it, so you might want to buy just 3 at a time because they could refuse to carry such a heavy package.After making jewelry for almost 20 years, I've learned that it's important to have completely TRANSPARENT (not just "clear") storage early on, and you need to be able to remove each container individually. You need a system where you can put it in front of you and see the colours/shapes without needing to remove any of the contents and so you can take the bare minimum with you on the road. It's also wonderful that there's room for me to label each container with the brand, price, shade, etc. without hiding the contents. It's very hard to do that with tackle boxes and other organizers where you can't remove any section. The labels it comes with are handy for basic information. If you need to write a lot of information, I highly recommend using a label maker (mine is Brother PT400 and is perfect for this use). For reference: I can comfortably fit approximately 150- 200 4mm glass crystal beads per tiny container. Even though the containers are so small, they fit a lot. There is much less wasted space than other craft organizers. For those of you who use sequins: you can easily fit at least one entire package of sequins in each tiny container. Also, when you consider that the 82-piece system comes with 78 containers, it's not actually as expensive as it sounds. You would easily spend that much if not more per bead vial without the whole system.If I had to write a possible disadvantage: some people will find it difficult to open these containers. You shouldn't try opening it on your own because you'll probably break a nail or simply won't be able to open it. I use needle nose pliers to open the lid, and this method works well for me each time. However, I wouldn't recommend filling the containers to the brim because that makes it difficult to open even with pliers. Since I realized I could use pliers to open the containers, this isn't a disadvantage for me because that's what makes the containers so sturdy! I've opened and closed a few containers multiple times, and they still snap firmly shut. Most other bead containers open way too easily and usually not when you want it to, causing beads to spill everywhere. If you've ever used a pill box type container to store beads and dropped it, you know how they fly everywhere and are a pain to clean up. I doubt this will be a problem with these containers. I've noticed some reviewers complaining that it's difficult to open the containers, so if that's the case, just have your pliers handy and lift up the lid with just one end of the pliers. It's super easy to open if you use that method. 5 star product & 5 star delivery to Canada! Highly recommended for any crafter that uses lots of small items like beads, findings, buttons, and sequins.

Amazing. I'd been holding off because of the cost, but I'm totally happy with the product i even purchased a second for my husband. Some reviews had commented on the claps on the individual containers being too tight but I haven't experienced this at all

For anyone, who like me, really enjoys beading and making jewellery this product is great for storing, organising and colour coding (or size coding) beads and findings. I customize mine by buying the tiny, medium and large plastic containers which fit inside these boxes separately and then building the interiors to suit my own needs. However, I have also bought the version of these boxes which already have the tiny plastic containers included and they are great too. Before finding these products I had boxes of different sizes and shapes which took up a lot of space. I am really happy with how much these boxes and how much space I've saved since I've been using them.
