I like the tic tac containers because they hold about 800 square drills, they take up very little space on my desk, and it's really easy to shake out only one or two drills if you're working on a heavy confetti area.

Having tried pretty much all of those systems, my favorites are the Lockables and the Darice systems. I feel like the Locables are easier for kitting up and kitting down but the Darice are probably easier to use while you're actually painting. Especially since I noticed a nifty trick from one of Gone Off My Meds's videos where you use a small metal measuring spoon to dip out the diamonds into your tray. :) But I will say that I really like those little bitty 28/56 grid storage containers for kitting down. Cause so far I haven't had a ton of diamonds left over and those small containers are perfect for that. Also, those containers take up no space at all. So really great if you're going to keep your diamonds but don't anticipate having too many leftovers. :)

@thesheshedkraftshack9230 5 жыл бұрын

I like a lot of the storage systems that you have. For kitting up my diamond art paintings I use the Craft Mate Lockables. Why because I usually get big diamond art paintings an they end up having enough storage left over. I kitted up Que Rico Siren using the Craft Mate Lockables after all the drills were kitted up I had four containers left over. Also, Craft Mate Lockables are easy to store in a bookcase I have six or so large diamond art paintings already kitted up an nicely put away in my bookcase next to my window in my craft room. Then when I Kit Down I like to use the Harbor Freight storage system. For instance they are small enough to fit on a shelf like in a bookcase. They only hold 24 storage containers but their inexpensive only like $4.60 at Harbor Freight. So, that's how I like to Kit Up my diamond art paintings an store my left over drills. Loved your video Mrs. Coffee. Laughs I think I have everyone of the storage systems you showed except for the rainbow one. Have a great day an stay cool oh dont forget to drink a lot of H20!!!

Great video. I'm a header, my first love, so I have a couple of systems. My most favorite that I use for long time storage are those bolt and screw holding drawers that slide out, it has 60 drawers, I got it at Home Depot, I put my findings in, I have one of those. The next one I have is a similar system has a 4 x 2 drawer and I believe it has 20 drawers, I have 3 of them, and they hold a half kilo or 500 grams of seed beads 11/0. I use the lockables for my silver beads, Bali silver styled, it's the best one for them and I wish I had another one because I have more styles of them because you can never have enough beads. The last one I use are the screw top system I have two sizes and there is another style type. There is the screw top and the slide on type. I like the screw top for its portability and slide on top for working on my desk. I have the small ones and the other size holds double of the small one. I don't have better dimensions because I am not at home right now. Thank you for sharing your organization systems. Have a nice day 🌼🌼🌼

Mrs. Coffee! I love your channel. I don't, currently, use any of the storage systems you showed, but I think I would like the Harbor Freight for kitting up my projects, and there's a Harbor Frieght walking distance from my house. What I use for long-term storage are these little containers from the $Tree. They come 10 to a pack, in round or square. They can hold a huge amount of drills. I put my round drills in the round containers & my square drills in the, you guessed it, square containers. I store them in an underbed storage box along with my "kits in waiting" or KIW. When I need more for new colors, I grab a buck & hop on my bike & head to the $Tree. It's cheep & easily expandable. Thanks for this video, you gave me some good ideas. Light & love to you and yours.

@islandgirlcraftingjournal9076 5 жыл бұрын

Good talk about drill storage! I do the shoe box and baggies for spare drills. Living in a remote area like i do, i hold on to all my spare drills and that option is cost and space effective. I was recently inspired by a birthday present of some plastic containers that were 2.5 x 2 x 1.25 inches in dimensions to create my own working drill storage for projects. I made the housing and shelves for 50 containers out of materials from around the house. It's a vertical storage so it takes up just a few inches of space on my work table. The entire thing cost me $11. The containers can hold 20K drills each. As much as i am tempted to get Harbor Freight and Darice (i might get the itchy fingers and get them anyway...) i adore my custom storage.

I use Darice for long term storage with DMC numbers. I am setting up the photo boxes for drills I don’t have DMC #’s for and dont feel like trying to match and one box for DAC drills. I use the one you have in purple with 60 bottles for current projects. I have the cases in 30 & 60 bottle. I use Harbor Freight as well for small projects. I also keep some on hand to gift to friends & family that start diamond painting. I a variety of storage. The only ones I don’t have are the stackable. Enjoyed watching this video. Thanks!

Hi! I use both the Darice and the tic tac boxes all the time. I love the variety of sizes the Darice storage gives you for my current projects. However, the xsmall containers hold way more than 200. I can fit close to 1 000 diamonds each. The tic tac boxes look really tiny, but each holds 1,000 diamonds, as well. I use those for long term storage. I appreciated seeing what other storage options are out there. Thank you for sharing

I am like most of us. I have tried several options for storage. I was also thinking of long term but didn't think it through. I started with sauce cups. Didn't like them. My niece uses them when she makes slime. Then I used the small 1 x 2 zip bags, I still use those but only for leftovers. I also tried the Harbor Freight one. I gave those to my niece. I do have several of the tic tac containers. I use those for the leftovers of special-shaped drills/rhinestones. I saw on someone's channel the stackable round ones in different sizes. Love those for kitting up. They come in 3 different sizes. You get one stack of each size. I always bought double of those. They're not very expensive. I have 6 sets of those because they do brake as you said. I'm sticking with those. Then for long term I do what Ella does with zip bags with index cards, in a big plastic container with lid.

I currently use snap top paint/bead containers from Dollor Tree. The large one comes in a pack of 6 and holds about 2000 diamonds. The small one comes in a set of 8 and holds about 1000 diamonds. I also bought round labels from Dollar tree and will add a dot below the # if round diamonds. The labels are easy to remove. And once kitted, I put in a small decorated box that I can drop in a tool bax with all my tools and "snack" size dps. Extra drills go into a labeled ziploc bag, then into a separate box on my bookshelf.

Don’t have & haven’t tried the lockables. Always thought they looked like more trouble than they were worth!😂 I’ve used the stackables in the past for something else (don’t remember what).

I have the ones from Walmart....love those. Unimpressed with the tic tac boxes. Just a couple of weeks ago, went to Harbor Freight for the first time and purchased 4 of the 25 pc sets.....love them!!😍😍 I will be doing my first BIG diamond painting.

I use the Darice and I love it! I’ve almost filled two and am about to buy another one. Right now I keep extras in zippies with the shoebox system, but just because I don’t have many extras. I take out the tiny boxes from the Darice and put them in a basket to “kit up” for each painting. I think I’ll have to check out the harbor freight instead of the shoebox though!

I have most of these containers. The next one I intend to buy is the one in the black case. FYI, you can still pick your color on Amazon. So far, my favorite is the tic tac just because it works well with my favorite tray, which is the white one with the orange gate. I pre-kitted Daughter of Honor and One Worth Melting For, each using a tic tac set plus 1-14 slot lockables ($3.99 at Hobby Lobby)

I use the fat jars from Walmart. I kit up in them. I label them with the DMC number and the symbol. I put my jars in a Keurig carousel that I modified, while diamond painting. When I finish the painting I remove them from the carousel, remove the symbol from the jar and place the jars in numerical order in stackable plastic drawers. I combine the ones with the same DMC number if the colors match, or file them next to the ones of the same number that don’t match. These drawers are stacked up on my desk.

I have all those storage method you listed above except the tray one. I love the lockables but for kitting up to expensive for long term storage. Tic tack storage. It wasnt really good for me for storage or kitting up... not big enough to hold diamond of 1 large pack for not that big of a painting... had to use multiple boxes for one color. The lids would pull out easily on some boxes, but not others. Love the harbor freight containers. Dont think I would want them for long term storage, because I do both rounds and squares. They are bad for drills getting stuck around lid when you open the lid... they fall out on you. Really great for kitting up... but if you have lots of colors like more than 27 you have to use more than one box... but I still love them for kitting up. Ahhh the suitcase one with round jars. Great for if you have a bunch of colors for a project. Wont hold large bags. I got the one for 120 bottles. So I put extra drills in zipper pouch on it. I have one kitted up in it now that has 60 colors. So dont know if I will like the screw off lids or not. Definitely not for long term storage... too expensive for that and dont hold enough. Long term storage but not for kitting up. 2x3 inch 4 mill ziplock baggies with index cards in a shoe box. Rachael Rae used this method and I like it. Heres why... I have 4 shoe boxes and bought 1000 bags. The 4 mill. bags will stand up easily verses the thinner bags you get with your kits. I have drills from several different companies which I want to keep separate. I have both squares and rounds... so this method makes the most sense for me.

I don't care for my Lockables I purchased - they are just a pain to get in and out of. And, the Darice storage system was just awkward and takes up my space I work around. I purchased a ton of the Harbor Freight containers - they are easiest to work with in the individual little snap boxes. And, when I'm not using them, they simply stack on top of each other.

I used the tic tac containers from Michaels that had 24 containers in the box. I don’t remember the size of the painting, but I remember that there was a total of 19,200 drills. I had no problem storing all of the drills. Doing the math, each container should be able to hold 800 drills. Not all of my containers were full so it could probably hold a little more than that. I had no problems with the style/functionality either. I just received the smaller version of the first one you showed (like the double rainbow). I’m excited to see if I like it better or not.

Hi Mrs Coffee. Last weekend I decided to change up my storage system for the Round and the Square drills/resins. I went from using tiny little plastic jars I bought at Dollar Tree to using 2x2" zip lock bags. I have 2 big plastic totes to put them in now. I placed each set of numbers: 105-169; 208-225; 300-372; 400-498; 500-598; 600-699; 700-799; 800-899; 900-999; 3011-3078; 3325-3372; 3607-3689; 3705-3799; 3801-3866 in separate quart size zip lock bags. And I did that with both the Round and the Square drills/resins. It was time consuming but atleast I have everything in one spot. God Bless you and your family and your 2 pups, too! Love to all, Judi

I use a 18 ct egg crate while Working on project. I did at least spray paint it so it wouldn’t be as tacky on my dining room table 🤣. I am a minimalist and would like long term storage that would allow me to store the most with less containers.

My favorite is the lockables. Got them at Michaels with coupon paid $12. Long term storage is plastic ziplocks 2x3 with a blank business card and kept in a photo box. Have tic tax boxes, they hurt my hand to open. Have the 28, they don’t stay closed. Unscrewing any little jar also makes my hands hurt.

I'm new to DP, but I plan on using my Akro-Mils mountable storage drawers to hold my diamonds long term. I have 4 of them I'm not currently using for anything. Thanks to Stitcherista, I ordered the zip-up black & purple case for current projects. Got it on AliExpress, so I might have to wait a bit longer. Right now I'm using the Darice that just has the smaller containers. It's okay, but I think screwtop will work better on my poor fingers. Thanks for sharing this!

I USE THE RAINBOW STORAGE FOR MY JEWRLY MAKING SUPPLIES(EARRING HOOKS,BACKS ETC ETC. I LIKE THEM A LOT.

I use Darice for long time storage. The plastic on the lockable will become a little loser with use. I use this for 50x50. Then the case with jars, I love those those. My jars are taller than yours. Great for travel. I have the habor freight too but I like to use one storage containers. I use the 24 tick tact for just the ABs.

I use the Harbor Fraight to kit up my diamond paintings and I use a binder with the baseball card plastic things. I put the diamonds from each kit in seperate baggies and put all the same colors in a pocket together because not ever kits colors matc. I will also put inventory sheets in the back in one of the full shit holders.

I put my extra in little zip lock bags you get in the jewelry section of walmarts and then recycled a carnation coffee creamer can( big ones ) and use that method.

I love my tic tac boxes! They look small, but can actually fit a lot in them (1400 round drills, haven't counted the square ones, but I assume is roughly the same amount) and I use them as my long term storage. And I have a small plastic shoe box where I keep all my unopened bags. I don't have a system in the shoe box, but I do keep an excel spreadsheet where I keep count on how many bags of each color I have.

You can check out my tic tac box unboxing video where I test out how many drills fit in there, if you don't believe me :D

I prefer the tic tac containers, and I've experienced that they hold more diamonds than you'd think.

I use the Darice for long term and keep the Square and Round separate. I use the harbor freight and the lockables for WIP.

For long term storage i have the 82 piece Darice system. I bought stackables from Walmart that i use for most projects and just ordered the Lockables from Michael's to try out. I have the small 28 count storage for my kids when they do diamond painting but i don't really like them. At Michael's i got the Lockables for 21 dollars after shipping but i also used a coupon. I am thinking about getting the Harbor Freight containers but haven't yet.

Michael's carries the Craftmates, and with a 60% off I got for under $9 after tax!! So I like mine OK for that price 😊. I do like individual ones like Darice, but they do hurt the fingers! Can't beat price of Harbor Freight, but they are a bit unstable when not a lot of drills are "top heavy" and got to be careful not to spill. Also drills seem to stay around the edge because stored in their side, so easy for some to fall out if not paying attention.
