Does any one else have this problem?
Above is the "bling bag" (the lesser known "blankety blank bling bag" say that 10 times fast! lol)
I needed a new system. See, my blingy buddies all love eachother so much they never want to part.:-) I always intended to keep my bling in their individual socks but somehow this never happens.
So here it is all emptied out below in one " adhesive "whole:
And after I pried most of them apart:
(which is a bigger job than it looks. Cos then you need to find where all the orphans go and bring them back to Mommy. (if they still have stickiness)
Here's what I did.
I had some binder sleeves laying around and I got n A4 cardstock sheet to slide in. (I first shaved a bit of one side to allow room for the bling to stand up without being squeezed)
And on the cardstock I rolled some runner tape to affix my bling sheets.
You can fit quite a bit on one sheet.
Then slip it into the sleeve.
So below is my finished bling enclosed in their sleeves. I still have a few packs loose but they still had their plastic socks and are a little bulky in size so I left them out.
I will now add this to my digi ring binder to store.
Time will tell how well it works.
In the meantime, I am very interested to hear what my followers do to keep their bling contained.
Ideas, please!

That is a good idea! I have the same problem as you are well aware of! I just bought a cd holder from Walmart. It is like an index card box, but a little bigger and it has 3 sections so I was hoping to organize a little at least with pearls and jewels. Don't know yet, but this is great too!
Love your idea. Mine is in little tubs and bags and stuffed into a clear plastic stacker shoe box. I have to pull everything out to find what I want....if I can remember what i have in the first place lol.
Great idea! I have mine still in the blingy bag with all of them sticking together. Not enough energy to do something organizational with them. They can stay put for another few months :)
You just might have saved my sanity - all my sticky bling is tossed into a drawer and I NEVER find anything in less than bleedin 10 minutes there! Gonna try your solution out!
