These bead storage boxes from Out On A Whim are perfect for keeping your beads organized, tidy and right at your fingertips. The smaller bead storage boxes are practically indestructible, and the variety of bead storage flip-top containers will hold any bead imaginable up to a size 6mm bead. Your beads will remain organized and contained within small enough boxes to make them portable and easy to lift, unlike larger storage boxes that can become too heavy to sort through easily.

The Finest Bead Storage Boxes Anywhere!

I use two different methods for storing the beads in my studio. The Ultimate Bead Storage Boxes and Flip Top Tubes by Out On A Whim (Whimbeads.com) are one of those two.

This is because I am a sticker for quality. With the Ultimate Storage Boxes and the flip-top tubes from Out On A Whim, I know my storage boxes will be of the finest quality available. The flip top tubes are excellent; size-cut with precision, bottom pieces correctly fused, tight-fitting lids with nearly unbreakable hinges.

But I love the Ultimate Storage Boxes for bead storage even more, I think, than the storage tubes. These wonderful clear plastic boxes can hold a variety of flip-top tube sizes and are so well-made that I've never had a hinge break or a lid crack, not even after falling off of my worktable onto the floor.

The boxes have two sets of hinges on each side of the lid, and a precise clasp that holds tight but does not require a pair of pliers to open. The corners are precisely aligned and the plastic is thicker and heavier that that of other bead storage boxes I've seen of this same size. That means the Ultimate Storage Boxes will hold up longer and stay together much longer than the lighter boxes will.

The boxes and tubes are also reasonably priced, and would make a perfect gift for a new beader or an excellent investment for an bead-organization overhaul. They will last for years and keep you beads separate, accessible and above all, secure. If you want durable, quality bead storage, I highly recommended the Ultimate Storage Boxes and Flip Top Tubes from Whimbeads.com.
