I can confirm without a doubt that they all work, are smart and make your beadstitch crafting a much more pleasant experience.

One of our customers recently asked us for a solution to contain the 40 earcuffs she has bought from us over the years. Yes, you read that right…40 earcuffs! Feeling a little responsible for such a predicament, I happily explored options for her.
Knowing the only retail solution traditionally available was an expensive amoire, I recalled that she might be open to something more practical than pretty. In our studio our beads are packed into many, many plastic cases equipped with dividers. Asking her if that would do it, she was open to the possibility. These cases are easier to find than when I started beading.
Instead of going to a bead store where they are looked upon as an expensive supply item, try Wal Mart or JoAnns.
