Sequin Storage - PICTURE ATTACHED TO REVIEW
**PICTURE ATTACHED TO THIS REVIEW**
Wow! This system is incredible. I have been re-organizing my crafting and sewing rooms, and have done "painstaking" research on the best ideas for storage of all sorts of things. For the most part I can turn to crafter extraordinaire Jennifer McGuire for all my crafting organizational needs, and have utilized her ideas for stamp/die storage and embossing powder storage, but didn't like her sequin storage idea (she uses Craft Mates Lockable Organizers). I wanted something that would take up less space and be easier to move from place to place, as I have a stupidly huge amount of sequins. So my search began!
I came across a lot of things that seemed "okay," but I really didn't want to settle on something just because I couldn't find the "perfect" solution. Then I came across the Darice Bead Storage System. I was skeptical at first regarding the size of the "tiny" containers, but thought I could always purchase the larger containers if needed. So, I ordered the 82-piece system hoping this would be everything I hoped - IT TOTALLY IS!!! My sequins fit perfectly in the tiny and small containers, and the lids of each container feel super secure. The trays take up so little space on my shelves, and they look so pretty filled to the brim with sparkly colors! :)
I was a little worried about how I would be able to glance at the little containers and know what sort of sequin was inside, and because the tiny containers are so tiny, there's really no room to write size, color and type of sequin within; I decided that I'd just glue a single sequin on the outside of each container so I'd know literally at a glance which sequins were within. I used a dot of Ranger Glossy Accents and a pair of tweezers to attach the little things, which was actually kind of a relaxing task. The only annoyance I had moving my sequins to the containers was due to static cling. I grabbed a dryer sheet and some Magic Static Remover, and it helped some, but it still wasn't a scream-free process, but this has nothing to do with this system.
I apologize for this review being so long-winded. I tend to gain speed in rambling when I start typing. Here's a short review:
This product works amazingly well for sequins! :)
