I bought a plastic container for beads to store mine in. It has individual compartments that are small and has individual snapping lids. Love it. I have about four of these for my brads.

I store mine in a miniature version of an embroidery floss container. I sort by color and manufacturer for both round and shaped.

The brads & eyelets are actually just thrown in the bottom of one now because it opened up and spilled everywhere and I was being lazy when I cleaned it up!
You guys are too funny... I was actually being too lazy to take actual photos of my sorters so I just googled SnapWare and this is what I got, but yeh, they do look really good! I'm going to guess that they are gingersnaps with a marshmallow filling (which i've had, and are SOOOOO YUMMMMMYYYY!!!)

What a great idea. I have two of these in my kitchen for spices. Thank you. I see a trip to a store to pick up a couple more once I'm finished painting my scrap building.
My brads are in spinners. I'm not sure these are made any more. I have my brads by type first then color groups. Square brads, round, flower etc. I love Basic Grey so the Glazed brads stay with the line they are from until either they are gone or the paper is gone from that line. If I have any left they are re-sorted into the other brads.

By color or design.

I don't sort mine either. They are all in a jar!

I use some cheapie 99c bead sorters, and I sort my brads by color and shape.

All of you cherries are so creative. I just love to see what everyone comes up with for storage.
I want Melissa's spice rack.

I don't have a ton, so that makes it easy. I sort by color, sort of!!!!
I store them in those small plastic baby food containers. They are see through, so I can see what I got!

In the packages they came in, in a big plastic container. Tired of SORTING everything-- this way, the ones that go together (like Basic Grey patterned ones) stay together.
I just store them by color
I sort by color in some mini bins that Lisa B. was showing on QVC several years ago. Love the spicerack concept.
