So, today, I'll start it off with a little something that I call "The Bead Refuse Bowl". Okay, so I totally borrowed this one from Ms. Ray, but it has really come in handy. I keep a bowl (standard cereal bowl) right beside my workspace and when I clip a thread, trim a ribbon, empty a bead tube, or break a bead...into the Refuse Bowl it goes! It has worked wonders to keep my space a little neater and it makes cleaning up a snap. Here's a picture of what mine looks like at the moment:
When I get the dough, I'm gonna spring for a cute little handmade Refuse Bowl from Etsy, until then, my Wal-Mart cereal will have to do! How about you? How do you get rid of bead refuse?
Great idea! I will need to begin a more orderly way of keeping my space clear, there always seems to be a little pile of trash scraps on my work surface. Hmmm, maybe I need to make myself a little ceramic bead refuse bowl - something cute and functional!
