Storage for beads - MUJI Acrylic Stacking Case



This video is to show you how do I store my beads and stone-settings.

I purchased all my stones in bulk, so it is critical to get them very organized to save me time from searching them from their original packaging.

I use Muji Acrylic Stacking Cases to store them, it comes in 3 different configuration: Large, small, and stacking case, I am using the large and the stacking case version. The beauty of it is that I could unscrew them from a group and group one container with another, cause I don't usually need all of the beads, just one or two may be.



In this video I am grouping Navette Settings container with Navette stones, to see how I set stones for Navette beads, here's the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlvjhbz0sYg

Stone Setting for Navette Bead using Prong Pusher


I set my own stones so I get to choose the colors of the stones I use for my projects, recently I have been working on one of my larger commissioned bridal project (Handmade Bridal Statement Necklace) and setting stone is one of the process.

To set stone, I use a rectangle block and then I pierce a navette shape hole so that I could stay put Navette settings and set the stone in.

Handmade Bridal Statement Necklace in Progress

Handmade Bridal Statement Necklace in Progress

Not even half done since yesterday lol thanks to the very energetic 3 years old (please stop poking your baby brother's eyes will you? Thank you.) and the barely 5 months old that's going through growth spurt (mommy is eating a lot to keep up with your appetite too alright honey?)

So tired. 
Yet so very happy.

Anxious for the moment I assemble the whole piece!
