Quick post today. Thought I'd share with you an alternative to those annoying spin wheels for storing little beads, rhinestones, or other nail embellishments! This is a plastic wheel that I found at a Michael's craft store. It has 8 compartments; each with its own snap lid! Best part... it only cost $1.99! I bought two :) Oh and by the way, CNN, I will NOT stop using emoticons. Did anybody else read that article from yesterday?
I wish the compartments weren't so deep, but I suppose that is nice for storing items larger than itty bitty rhinestones! |

i'd probably topple over the whole compartment if i left the flaps open :P the sliding ones will only cause me to reapply another coat of clear polish while i struggle to slide it to open another compartment LOL
but yeah, ive seen this around too... but not at the store i usu get my rhinestones from. hmm.
I just love it! I like that the whole thing is clear. AND it has a whole in the center. I might have to have someone build me a rack (pole on a base) so I can stack them!
Re: Emoticons, body language is 70% of communication. So I am right there with you on continuing my emoticon usage.
That thing might work well for bead storage too.
What's wrong with Emoticons? :(
I have little nail art circle containers from sallys that are the PERFECT size but they're 5 bucks for 8. :(
Where do I find this article? I spam emotes like crazy--even in texts, which drives my boyfriend nuts sometimes. :) And I definitely need to get myself some of these containers. The bead storage jars they have at Michaels (the ones with screw-top lids) kinda drive me nuts. >.<
I'm frugal too, and while the round ones are cute, I found a very serviceable pill organizer at Walgreens for 99 cents that has 7 compartments. It's very much like this one. When I saw yours, I thought you'd gotten a medicine organizer as well!
I even posted about mine somewhere on the blog. I think it's tagged well enough to find, if I were to go digging through it. I'm all about cheap storage!
That's great! I need to find some of those things.
Lady C- It was actually at CNN (I edited my post already)! Here is the link. http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/web/12/07/emoticons.netiquette/index.html?iref=allsearch
Laynie- Medicine storage- good idea!
I have one of those exact one too~ Aren't they great? Really cheap too, mine was like $1.25. Just perfect for keeping all those tiny rhinestones and whatnot.
These wheels are very handy indeed. Especially since they are transparent, makes finding what you need much easier.
oooo now that is a great storage idea those wheels that rhinestones etc... traditionally come in are a pita
oohh I like that container!! I recently bought a bunch of little rhinestones & i wanted to get storage with the flip top, but I was worried that all the gems would stick to the top and get all mixed up. But since these have their own seperate compartments, I wouldn't have to worry about that. Thank for the post!
