Found a new home for my entire collection

This little DIY project took me a couple rainy saturday and sunday afternoons.  
I spray painted the interior (top left is a "before" picture) with a blue glitter paint. Then I cut out styrofoam squares which I "upholstered" with gray velvet.
For the stainless steel bead rods, I filed small cavities into two pieces of wood. Those were then also spray painted and glued to the interior of the box
I painted my initials with glitter nail polish   

This box will hopefully be big enough for a while now...  so glad it's finished! Thanks for letting me share.

What a beautiful new home !
They will be very happy there vicky_jb  

Looks really great. You are very clever to make it yourself.

It is lovely, I just managed to get a box of wines, I planned to do the same thing, my problem is just getting the rods! Love yours

That is a great box! I just have a little thing, but all my loose beads still fit. I have to keep the finished bracelets in another box. I have found the best way to manage the loose bead from overtaking the box is to buy a bracelet and make another go-to combo.

You are clever and resourceful  I think it's great to have custom-made your own "bead home" specifically for your collection - I'm impressed!  

When I read the headline I thought you had found a new home for your entire collection as in re-homed it with somebody else   Your DIY new home looks very lovely and all the beads in it look happy with their new dwellings

VJB - very beautiful!

Hehe... I noticed when I wrote the headline and thought it was funny  I could never part with anything in this box!
Thanks for the sweet comments!

Love the new home...

Your hard work paid off ... lovely ...

Fabulous! Maybe I wii have a go that's how I found this site 2 years ago looking for a bead villa, and they. Still don't have a home

Love your bead box! You have lots of room now and it must be very satisfying to achieve something like this.
