Found a new home for my entire collection Img_0947

This little DIY project took me a couple rainy saturday and sunday afternoons. winds 
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 bounce
I painted my initials with glitter nail polish Embarassed Thanks 

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

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.

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