Is that a Binder?! | Bead and Jewelry Storage Organization | Solution 1

[@erikalee8403]

I think that idea is great! Never would have thought that to use a binder for storage.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Erika! Glad I could help!

[@judymeyer1760]

What a great idea. You could even put a sticky backed Velcro dot or snap to keep things from falling out.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing, Judy!

[@denellalleyn8938]

Mind Blown! I never would have thought of a binder. That is such a great idea for small amounts or random bits and pieces. It can hold so many things, keep them organized, and within easy reach. So impressed. Going to give this some serious thought. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more ideas.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I'm so glad that this is helpful, Denell!! It's such a great way to put those odds and ends in a home, where they can be easily seen, and not lost. I am sure there are many other things this could be useful for! More ideas to come soon!

[@Jennifer-yl8hm]

that is such a great idea for small amounts or random bits and pieces

[@Belle19700]

I did it Gina! I now have most of my jewelry-making stuff, in my binders. I have 7 binders full so far, and still adding. This is so wonderful. If I have to leave here quickly, all I have to do is grab my binders, and a few boxes. I had so many different kinds of beads, and loved them, but most of the time, I couldn't find them. What a mess that was. Thank you so much. And , all the beads are looking just fine. I still have to organize, them a bit. I am still looking for plastic hem clips, page width wide, for the tops of the bags. I am so happy. Thanks. As soon as I figure out how to get phone pictures onto you tube, I'll send some.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

That's so awesome to hear! I know it feels great to get organized! 💜💜💜

[@lesleywillis3650]

This is so smart. I paint and I’m about to start selling jewelry and I have one room for each so storage is a big deal. This is perfect because I want to keep the supplies separate for obvious reasons but still be able to easily see everything

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am so glad this is helpful for you, Lesley! Thanks so much for watching! 💜

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

Thank you Gina. This binder storage is very helpful. I have a large selection of Gemstone pendant for malas that I bring to my mala workshops. Love your videos. Thank you from Nova Scotia. 💚🇨🇦

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you, Emma! So glad to have you!

[@carolcassis1926]

So funny, my friend and I were just talking this morning about bead storage.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Carol! That is so funny. I am glad my video was timely. Stay tuned for more ideas in the future, and thanks for watching!!

[@carolcassis1926]

Thanks Gina, is the storm affecting you?

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hey Carol, just been cloudy and very rainy here the past few days. Some mild wind gusts here. I'm in the central VA area. How about you? I feel so bad for those in the Carolinas; are you located there?

[@carolcassis1926]

I'm in Toronto but have many friends in the Roanoke area.

[@leigh9354]

I am going to try this. I have so many charms, finding and small numbered beads that I want to use that clutter up my work station. This help me see them better without just throwing them in a bin. BTW I used your link so I hope you get a small percentage from amazon.

[@madqueen6632]

What an incredible idea! Thank you for this. Storage has been a huge issue for me.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I'm so glad it was helpful! I need to re-organize my binder again, and maybe come back with an update. Storage is always an ongoing process it seems. :) 💜

[@nikkiwilson7362]

nice ideal great way to keep them organized and neat, can't wait to see what's next

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you! It has been working really well for me, for certain things. I am happy to share!!

[@catherinequick5416]

This is genius! I have a bin full of unique clasps I’ve collected over the years, but rarely use them, because I have to do so much digging around. I can’t wait to make a clasp binder!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

This would be perfect for that!! So many applications to the binder idea. Thanks for watching!

[@Hannahs.360]

This is really a creative way of storing beads.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Linda! I am glad you enjoyed!

[@muahshell]

This is an awesome idea !!! I’ve been wondering how to store all the little specialty beads I’ve gotten from the dollar bead box !!! This way I can find what I’m looking for without them being all over the place !!! Thank you so much

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Yay! I am so glad I could help with this, Michelle. Thanks so much for watching!

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

I like this idea for cabs and for findings. Maybe a binder per metal

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Absolutely! The possibilities are endless. Thanks for watching!

[@GabbieJoy87]

You are brilliant!! I am changing my beading room from a little space in the basement to upstairs in the unused formal living room that has beautiful light. Plus, I want to start doing custom work for individual clients, so having a room right off the front door is perfect. AND, no spiders upstairs...shudder.... This solution would be perfect for them to be able to look through and pick out individual elements they would like in their own custom pieces. Gina, you amaze!! Now give me a good solution for all of my strung mainly various stone beads.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Yay! I am so happy this video could be of help to you! More videos on storage ideas to come in the future. Sounds like you will have a great new space, and NO SPIDERS is the biggest bonus of them all, in my opinion! I don't "do" spiders! haha :)

[@conniealford1020]

I've seen this ideas used with the pages you store coins in. I think it's a great idea for the flat stones that you show here. Great info. Thank you!!🌫️💜🌫️☮️✌️☯️🙏

[@sherribrown7625]

Wow use binders daily at work and your idea will be great for y beading supplies thanks

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You're very welcome, Sherri! Thanks for watching!

[@patriciamorgan6545]

WOW! Great idea!!! Lends itself to so many things, especially those odds and ends that never seem to find a home! Maybe a little small (each pocket, that is) for the bain of my existence, regular old findings (jump rings, head pins, ear wires, bead caps, in just the right size/color). They outgrew my sectioned box, so now I have them in baggies by color, in a shoebox. Still not working well, as now have to dig through the baggie to find the particular item I'm looking for. Eagerly awaiting your future organizational suggestions....because I surely need them!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am so glad I could help, Pat! There are so many applications for the binder storage idea. I keep thinking of more and more things I could use them for. :)

[@MichelleJM]

I really like this idea Gina! Thanks! 😊😘

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You're very welcome, Michelle! Glad you enjoyed! 💜

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Really brilliant Gina, hat a great way to store findings and beads. Thanks for the video. 💞💫

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Kim! I am glad you enjoyed!

[@cathycowen8070]

I love this I wish I would’ve looked at it sooner. Also a great way to store cutting dies. Thanks 😊

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Very true! Lots of possibilities with this system! :)

[@reginam7370]

I love this idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

You're very welcome, Regina!

[@MyTreasureHunt]

This is a wonderful idea. I too am a visual person. And if you can see it and it is handy, you will be more likely to use it. Thank you! P. S. I am really behind in watching videos. Lol!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I'm glad you liked it! I am so behind on videos too, but I will be catching up on yours as well! It's great to hear from you, and I hope you're doing well!!

[@MyTreasureHunt]

I am well. Thank you for asking. Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

[@lauriewooten2611]

That is a great idea. Love it and looking forward to see your wall storage ideas we got a sneak peak of during this video. Thank you so much!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I am so glad you enjoyed! Yes, stay tuned for more!! :)

[@lorrainemadison8569]

Omg!!! This is so great!!! I thought of this for transporting my earrings to sell at local hair salons, etc. But it didn't work too well for that. So now with ur vid I can rethink my storage situation and use this method for that. I just have to figure out another way to transport my already made earrings. If anyone has an idea so I can carry, display nicely please share. Lol. Thanks.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Yes!! I didn't mention it, but I also thought about how it could be great for finished pieces; earrings in particular would be perfect! I am glad I could help. :)

[@lorrainemadison8569]

Yes small earrings will work best. What i make is more overstated and chunky so I tried this method and didn't work for me on that way. Will use for storage. I'm working on a binder with Ziploc bags and cardstock or chip board to display earring. Lol. Hope it works out. Tfs

[@kittcat52]

What a great idea. I'm thinking that these don't take up as much space either. I use fishing tackle boxes from Walmart. Those are over $4.00 each and you can't store near as many beads in those as you could in a binder. Thank you for sharing.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

So true, Kathy! This takes up such little space for the amount of items you can store! Inexpensive too. :) Thanks for watching!

[@dollatinerinderer3884]

Really like your storage idea.

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks so much! I am happy to share!

[@christyboatwright3942]

I have a question threading 10 or 12 beading needle with wild fire .006 I can't get my thread through the eye .... any tips for that ...thanks your space is very neat love it thanks for sharing ...

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Annie! I have to flatten the end between my teeth to get it to go through, lol. It is what it is! :)

[@annietanner5600]

Thank you so much for answering my question .... love your videos ....thanks again I can't wait until next one.....

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

No problem at all! You're very welcome!

[@patriciamorgan6545]

I find that, when I use my teeth, the end curls a bit (making needle harder to thread), but when I squeeze the end with a chain nose or flat nose plier, it's easier to thread. Of course, magnification and good lighting are a must!

[@CraftyMomof12]

what overhead tripod do you use?

[@amandalee6368]

I see alot of things that are not priced. How do you price your pieces? I am honestly just curious I buy so much it's hard to keep track of price per piece. I love this storage solution

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Hi Amanda, I don't get that specific with my pricing down to the exact cost of each item - I would never have enough time in the day. :) I am aware of estimated value of the items, whether they are gemstone/glass/precious metal/brass, etc., and I use that as a general guide as well as the estimated time I put into the creation. 💜💜💜 I will have to do a pricing video in the future.
