Containers
As your bead collection grows, you will need a system for organizing and
storing your beads. It is helpful to choose one which is expandable and
units that are transparent. These could include anything from plastic baggies
to baby food jars.

Bead Board
Used to lay out bead designs before stringing. They are
usually felted to help the beads stay in place, and are
available in a range of sizes.

Glue
Bead cement or craft glue can be used to keep thread
knots from unraveling. Use a pin or a toothpick to apply
a small amount to seal a knot, being careful not to get
glue on any beads.
