Tips on How to Store & Organize your KAM Snaps
Now that you've got a bunch of KAM snaps in a rainbow of colors, shapes, and sizes, what's the most convenient way to store and organize them? Here are some suggestions offered by our creative customers using both purchased new materials, and up-cycled old jars and cartons.
Check your local craft or home improvement stores for inexpensive plastic containers. They might be referred to as "bead storage," "tackle boxes," or "nail/screw storage."
