hahaaa i am the same way! you should look at my table with all my bracelet supplies, it is a complete mess. but what helps me is if the organizer box already comes with your floss in bobbins. i recently bought a box that had the skeins already wrapped around bobbins, which had their dmc color code. such a life saver😂 other than that just try to clean your space as much as possible which i am trying to make a habit of doing!

try getting three containers, one for string long enough for normal patterns, another for any extra string for alpha patterns, and the last one for any bracelets/keychains you have already finished

I sort my strings that I have not used yet by color (pink with red, tan with white, etc.) and put then in baggies. Used strings with usable lengths are placed in a big bag regardless of color. Scraps no matter the color are also placed in a different bag. You can place it all in whatever box or container. Once I set it up it was easy to stay organized because there was a place for everything.

Bobbins are nice to have and having containers for beads are having for storing them. Also having like a small pillow and a Bobby pin to knot your bracelets on is nice, if you don’t have a pillow I sewed a socked closed but before stuffed it. I also like having a small pencil pouch that I put my scissors, Bobby pins, and any other supplies in and any bracelets I want for when I’m traveling. Also if you go to the dollar tree they have small little beading storage things and I put all my unfinished ones in there.

i’m the same way!! get bobbins! get thread storing boxes! don’t organize them in rainbow order, it’ll suck to maintain.

I use bobbins and a small box, and I highly recommended this technique. I never have to worry about having all my colours in a weird order, all my friends at school and sometimes people I don’t know that well will find fiddling around and organising my thread box entertainment lol
