I've always felt that a volume of more than a 1/2" bead hanging from ones' ear lobe is too much. So - I've always looked for little boxes in which to send my creations. For years the little square plastic boxes worked, as everything was a 1/2" round.

But - now with longer beads and the glassy headpins - I've found the need for longer boxes... I don't know why, but I love storing things so that I can see my beads. These work wonderfully, but sometimes it's a serious puzzle with how to get the beads to nest so that the top fits... you know this if you buy from me. : )

So, along with graduating to these boxes, I've been delighted to find that three of these longer ones fit rather nicely inside of a square box... I hope you're not thinking that 'she has issues'... I just love boxes. The most recent issue is that my new Mini Moo cards are long and no longer next nicely into the lid of the bigger square box. But that's OK, as I can still print more of the original version of my business cards that DO fit nicely.

What are your packaging issues and what solutions have you come up with?? Smiles & little plastic boxes, Jill
