Hello everyone! It’s another Monday and another month. This month’s theme is jewellery packaging and bead storage. I decided to throw them in together, and if we are having a partially fun time of it come the end of this leap year February, we may continue on into March! What do you say to that?
We beaders and jewellery designers are almost as obsessed with bead storage and packaging as we are with beads themselves, right? (I’m sure I see at least some hands up there!) Something about organising our precious bead stashes really makes our souls happy, and there’s nothing better than packaging your finished jewellery and art beads in a beautiful setting, worthy of their awesomeness. I’m going to be looking at the practical, the luxurious and the plain incredible! So without further ado, let’s get going!
Here’s a lovely little shelving unit made from old pallet wood. This would be perfect for storing tools, and those bits and bobs that just need somewhere to go!
Love these cute cotton bags, they are so cute with those sparkly rings stamped on them, but still a nice open, rustic weave.
Last of all, I think this one belongs in the realm of the plain incredible. This would satisfy anyone’s desire to be a messy creative, and yet be able to close the doors on that mess every night.
Looks innocuous enough at first…
…but look inside the brilliantly-named Narnia Crafting Station…
…and you’ll discover the potential for all sorts of fun!
And now for the BeadBlogger Links. Have a great week everyone!
