Well sounds like they upgrade to a better husband who understands their addiction to beads and upgraded to a better bead traveling bag. Moral of story...find a husband who can be patient with us while we're in hobby lobby for a hr for wonderful spectacular bead sales
Rofl glad to know your not divorcing over beads. But I can see it happening, no one understands a beading addiction like other beader’s lol that is a cool little travel case. Tfs hugs
I wonder how the handle will hold up after 10 or 20 trips. Beads weigh a lot. I’ve traveled with them and I used a rolling suitcase so I didn’t have to carry the weight. In 6 months do another review please. Tell us how it’s holding up. I agree it’s a beautiful case. And practical. 🌸
I wish they had one for larger sized beads (6, 8, 10m) also. I was only recently introduced to artdot and just purchased/received the drawer storage system they sell. It's a great product but still leaves me needing a similar solution for me regular beads.
I use the Harbor Freight '25 storage box system' clear containers for those larger beads. The small clear boxes nest in one large one. They used to have a mixed pack, (no longer available), that offered combo size of two different units, the larger equalling two smaller containers. Theirs is the lowest price I have found and have stood up to years of use and travel with them. They stack nicely in a tote.
Oh my goodness! Your story is so me! Sometimes when my husband & I are out doing errands, he'll drop me off at the door of Hobby Lobby, then he'll go find a parking space & play his game on his phone!! He's so patient with me & thankfully, it's never caused a fight! Lol!
Love your story. The travel case is interesting and beautifully organized. My only issue with using the storage containers would be not having the color and SKU number of the seed beads. I think I could identify the brand by sight. Have a Happy Easter!
You had me laughing, what a great story! I have the nine drawer set and love it, but would love bigger drawer sets for larger beads. Even selling the drawers without the containers would work too. I would buy more in a heart beat if they branched out for larger beads. Artdot, if you see this, seriously think about it.
I bought the artdot unit on a prime sale about 2 months ago. It was $2 to try it for a week to save 20. Filled all 420 containers from seed beeds to findings. Since the top must flip, be careful if you have fragile beads and don't want much movement of them and place those in lower section or save aside or remove the unit from case before the top flips. The mid one sets nicely in the top, when open, to access the bottom one. The top, inner pocket is great to hold beading needle cases. The funnel had a weird odor, so I left it out to air and left the case open. Odor left quickly for the case, the funnel took a few weeks longer, but no odor now. Some report a smoke odor- did not have anything like that.
Wendy, your story was really funny. I would've been the same way; I just can't leave a store if there's a clearance sale either. That case is really nice. Would you please explain the difference between the seed beads, i.e. 6 0, 11 0. I don't know what that means. Thankx.
I really loved your story. I can relate and was laughing out loud! I really enjoy your videos. You are an inspiration with your creativity and your faith and spirit!
