Silver Wire Storage

I had placed these same details on my 'Behind The Scenes' section before adding my Hints pages, so I thought I should repeat it here as I personally think it is a great tip!

I had no idea of how I could store my wire in a way that would be tidy and easy to find a particular size of wire. So, I asked my friends at the Orchid Forum for some suggestions. This one suited my needs the best so I thought I'd pass on the tip in case you find yourself asking the same question.

I bought myself a couple of 3 ring binders and a heap of plastic wallet inserts. I keep my silver wire in the plastic bags that they arrive in so as to keep them from tarnishing and place each bag into an insert which I label very clearly. So tidy and no more confusion. I also bought some cd sheets to place my extra links I have already cut, after I have put them in sealable bags and labeled each one with the size of silver wire used and the size of mandrel they were cut on. I've added photos of both to give you a visual. Hope it is helpful!
