Bead Organization Fabric Covered Magnet Board

I'm slowly working on turning my craft room into an organized and girly space! Today I want to share my newest project for the room: 

 Bead Organizer Fabric Covered Magnet Board

I'm so pleased with how this project turned out! I'm a very visual person when it comes to crafting.  I get inspired to create by looking at and playing around with my craft supplies.  I wanted some way to organize some of the good beads I had so I could easily see them and use them to craft with.  

The main part of this project was the magnetic board. I got it at IKEA for only $12.99, it's called the SPONTAN Magnet Board

The other supplies needed were about a half yard of fabric (I used Turn of Events in Plum from Hawthorne Threads), scissors, Mod Podge, and a brush.  Not pictured is a hot glue gun, magnets, and bead holders.

I cut the fabric to slightly larger than my magnet board and then just applied Mod Podge over the fabric to adhere it to the board.  I did two total coats, and let it dry for a day before putting on the second coat. 

After the top was dry, I trimmed away some of the fabric from the sides and then just wrapped it around and hot glued it to the back of the board.  Yeah yeah, not the prettiest looking but it's in the back so it doesn't really matter anyway :)

After the the board was all ready, I called on the lovely hubby who begrudgingly hung it up for me above the second tier on my craft desk (he's been hanging lots of things recently for me since we just moved haha) 

Very pretty! :)

After the board was done I set to work getting my beads ready to go on.  I got a bunch of little metal containers from Pick Your Plum on a deal they had (I found some similar ones on Amazon:)
 

and I ordered magnets from Amazon - affiliate link below.  These magnet were great, the perfect size for the back of the containers but were strong enough to hold a container full of beads.

I hot glued the magnets to the back of the containers

And then filled them all up with pretty beads! And tried to line them all up pretty for a picture and then just got wayyy to frustrated with all the magnetic forces going around :)

The last step was just to plop the beads onto the board!

I love it! The board is right above my main work space in my craft room, so whenever I look up I can be inspired!

Are you a jewelry maker? How to you store your beads?
