Yeah, somehow the shape of the cut out on the label escaped Melanie's notice

@@Melayahm01 If you put the label on the lid matching the cutouts, the label is then UPSIDE DOWN on the lid. That drives me crazy.

Aren't they great little containers, Marcie! Prefect idea on the labels too - I'll try it!

Mrs.C, sometimes I think you can see into my head and read my thoughts! It is very hard for me to share my work and I honestly do feel like most people don't care about all the little stuff I create. I enjoy it when I find like minded people who understand my drive to create things, even if none of it matters. I often regret that my love of trying new things means that I rarely stick with something long enough to become truly proficient at it. I'd love to be a master of one specific craft, like oil painting, or metalsmithing, or drawing, but I dabble in so many different areas that I have never been able to dedicate the time to truly mastering one craft. I'll share some other hobbies here on the channel if you all are interested. That's a lot of content to create! Thank you for your sweet comment! ❤❤❤

Melanie Sullivan you know who was like us? The one artist who dabbled in just about anything? Leonardo da Vinci! He was never tired to try new things and create new things. Eventually we all become masters at one craft. The other day I was thinking about this very thing, and how I often try something new and make something really beautiful but the moment I get done with it I go on to something else. If I had to sit and think which one art form I would choose to do for the rest of my life, I don’t think I could choose. For example, I learned to crochet when I was in fifth grade, but then I didn’t really make anything with my crochet until a few years ago when I decided I wanted to crochet some garments. Slowly I learned by following KZfaq videos. One year I literally crochet every single day, so much so that I probably made over 150 very complex items from hats to bedspreads, jackets, sweaters, shawls, and everything in between. I bought so much yarn that I would need another year or two to actually finish crocheting with it. Then I discovered junk journals, and started learning to do that. This of course on top of drawing and painting, jewelry making, embroidery, quilting, and sculpting. If I had the space I would pick up sculpting in alabaster again. Speaking of space, i think that’s the only thing that stops me from doing everything I want to make. I literally need at least 1100 square feet of space with wall to wall storage and outside space in order for me to store all my things and be able to make the things I want to make. I think if one wanted to see all the things that pop into my head all they would have to do is look at all my Pinterest boards and be able to do a psychological analysis and create my profile, the same way profilers do with serial killers. LOL .... so when you work... do you prefer silence, music, talk radio/talking videos, or Netflix? Or is it basically whatever floats your boat at the moment?

Glad it was helpful!

I hope you enjoy them - I love mine!

I use the seed beads for making jewelry (beadweaving). The sequins? I just love sewing them on to stuff. I've been making jewelry longer than any of my other hobbies. Maybe I'll do another video and show you the kind of things (jewelry) I enjoy making... if anyone is interested. 🙂

I have not had one break yet. I think I have six trays/sets now and I've only had one faulty box that won't stay closed. I'm happy with them!

Melanie Sullivan thank you so much!

Hi Edith, I buy mine from Amazon. There should be an Amazon link in the video description. Thanks!

good idea!

Do they fit on the outside on the white lids?

Hi Anita. If I remember correctly, when I put the sticker on the lid (matching the notch), it's upside down when you remove the box from the tray and that bugs me. If you don't mind or didn't even notice, go for it! I'm just being persnickety. :-)

Hi Linda, I think that information might not be out there because it probably depends on the size and material of the beads as to how many grams it would hold. Since a gram is a measure of weight, not volume, a small container might hold 15 grams of size 11/0 glass seed beads, but might only hold 11 grams of 8/0 beads. The beads I buy at my local bead store have been repackaged from bulk and do not have the gram weight on the tubes, only the brand, color, and price. I hope you can find what you're looking for. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? Here's the link to their contact page: www.beadstoragesolutions.com/contact-us/ Maybe they can help!

A gram is a measure of WEIGHT, not size.

The smallest containers (TINY) hold about 10-15 grams of seed beads depending on the bead size. Each container seems to be approximately double the size of the smaller container as you go up. The SMALL is the size of two TINY containers, the MEDIUM containers are double the size of the SMALL, etc., etc. I hope that helps!

I'm very lucky to have a well stocked bead store near me, but if I buy online it's almost always from Fire Mountain Gems. They have a great catalog too, if you prefer an old school shopping experience like me. 💎📖

If you put the label on the lid matching the cutouts, the label is then UPSIDE DOWN on the lid. That drives me crazy.

@@MelanieSullivan oh!!! That would drive me crazy also!!!

I just filmed a video of my sewing room tonight! I looked for you on Facebook, Louise, but there are a number of Louise Luceros and I wasn't sure which one was you. Can you send me a message through my Etsy store? My shop name is texasfreckles. Once you're there, you should be able to "message" me through Etsy. :-)

Melanie Here is my email. Sewsewbz@hotmail.com. Can you send me a shortshort message and that way I will have your email. Louise

Wow lots of Louise Lucero on Facebook. Didn’t know that. Just FYI I’m from al uquerque New Mexico. My picture is of me holding a haagandaz ice cream. Let’s try again Louise
