I am sorting mine by color kind of. Just wondering what everyone else does with these necessities.

I sort mine by color and I keep them in those little mini zip baggies. I keep all of the baggies in one plastic container so I know where they all are.

I sort by shape and color, and store them in a MM container...

iIsort mine by color and I keep them in this handy dandy case. I can just pick it up and go whenever I go to a crop.

I sort by color and keep them in something like a tool box that has lots of small compartments.

I sort by color and store them in these plastic caddies. They're made by Darice. I think they're really for bead storage but they work great for brads, snaps, buttons, etc... Each divided plastic box pops off the main caddy and there's also storage in the round top part.

I put nime in the little stacking twist together rounds or in the little screw / tackle plastid divided containers.


I was just wondering if anyone tried keeping manugacturer seperate or anything?


LOVE that caddie!

Hi, I use a craft mates tote for all my small embellies.. i love it. it's portable and nothing falls out of their home.. they come in all shapes and sizes..
I have the XL caddy..

i sort my brads by size and color if I can. if there are not a lot of one color, I throw them in with all the others that don't have a home of their own..

i store mine in the smallest cropper hopper boxes. by color, season, holiday, etc.

I sort my by colors. I have most of them in a Making Memories embellishment box.

i have then by color/style and I have these to keep them in

I hardly ever use brads. I like the sugar coated ones from Doodlebug, but that's about it. Doesn't mean I don't have a collection of them anyway! Mine are in a craft container with little compartments, too.

for the most part I sort mine by color, and in some colors the bigger brads are separated out too

Mine are in little baggies or containers sorted by color inside a plastic container. I am planning to buy a container that has separate slots and put them in that.

I have a ton of eyelets which I probably shouldn't have bought since I don't use them. Brads are so much easier for me.

me too!!! I love them!

A couple of years ago I found two containers on clearence....they were made to hold Matchbox type cars. I use those. I store by color and type if they are shapped.

Brads you say?? I have 3 of these, and 3 smaller but simillar ones- they are not organized. I am working on that right now- I decided I need everything to be more user friendly and easier to get to. Now the only problem is I store everything in these boxes TINY flowers, the occassional speciality button, eyelets and brads- so when was running out of room I would hust buy a new one and never sort and organize.... which is why it's taken me three days to do it now lol!!

Pay no attention to the scrap mess under it- I pulled everything out of drawers and it's every where ; ;

I sort by color and keep in this spice rack on my desk (this is where my buttons are too).

By color in round clear containers that stack.
