Quick little project...

Thought I'd share a fun quick little project that I'm starting today. Below are all my supplies in this neat little carrying case...I got at Joann's for $3.99 last year.
They have more of the plastic bins that you can add to each other...clever idea ah! Well, can you spot my project????? This next picture is one of my portable beading trays I like to take with me. I make these and they have multiple uses....honestly I made these 13 years ago for Christmas presents before they were popular. I used them for candy dishes and gave them to family and friends as gifts.
This is the dish tied up and there's a piece of micro fiber in the middle to keep the beads from rolling all over. When your done, just untie the ends and any loose beads can be put back in their containers.....easy peasy!!
And here it is all snapped together and ready to go....simple as that...love it!


Now, if only life was as simple as that....lol!

Oh WOW Noel, you make magic trays, I make those as well, I have them for all sorts of things, but never thought to use them for my beads. Well blow me down.

Hmm are you about to embark on a Black and White doll? The beads all look B n W to me, mind you what is that circle thing in the background?
Going back for another look.

It's a Headband, or as I think you call them, an Alice Band. Yay, I got it.
Didn't I?

Ahahaha..yes it's a headband and it's giving me fits...I've already started over three times....it's just not going the way I'd like it to so I think it's going to sit for a bit....bummer...I thought I could get it done and wear it this weekend....oh well!

oh Noel I made one of these, long ago. Mine was bigger and I used it for a bread basket at Christmas, used Christmas fabric. Never thought of using it for beading. Great idea!!

Hi Dove, these are what I made last year for the craft sale at my DIL's church and these are what I made all my money on. I had candy in one, a large votive candle in another, soaps in another and rolled up face cloths in another...multi use functional item....lol!
