Artisan bead box?

I was wondering if you have a bead box for just troll and a different one for artisan/other brands beads?

i use my bead box for all my beads although I do keep Troll and artisan on different rods.

Rather a moot point for me as I have fewer than ten nonTrollbeads in my collection and if they aren't on one of my bracelets, they fit on a pipe cleaner in my beadbox.

I have outgrown my beadbox, but I have been keeping artisans on a separate rod.

I might just keep my current box and put my artisans in it. I'll have to think about that.

Mine are all mixed in together by colour. I started off keeping the artisan beads separate but now I have so many it seems a bit pointless.

That might be a good idea for you!


I plan on getting a smaller bead box someday for the artisans. so far I need a bead box in the first place, as i keep my few beads on pouches, so i was wondering what you ladies that have so many beads do.

a different rod for them sounds nice, as it looks like its what most of you do!

ps: thank you for all the replies!

I have bumped up an old post of mine to show you my bead box

I keep my artisan beads separate for my TB, but both live in old tea boxes I found at locate thrift stores. I really like the tea boxes because of the compartments as I am am not fond of placing my beads on rods (it takes to long for me to remove them).

I keep them on separate rods in the same box.

I have very few artisan beads: some of them are on a home made key chain, some others on a bracelet, and only a few on a separate rod in the Trolls beadbox.

I have three separate boxes, one for silvers, one for Trollbeads glass/gemstones (and completed bracelets) and one for artisan glass/gemstones

Sometimes I think I should have just went for the big Trollbead villa, but I love all my boxes...and hate the long rods...so I just make what I have work

But honestly, my box for Trollbeads glass/gemstones is almost full too now. So i'm going to have to figure out a better solution soon.

I started out keeping them separate but have now outgrown and had to combine. I did locate a local woodworker and going to work with him on a large 6 drawer box. I would love to keep my Troll and Noosa in the same spot.

I collect my beads and silver in my box assorted by colours, all mixed together, trolls and others.
