This one is a can of worms! Some people want to store every leftover drill, others throw them away, “horrors” and there are so many container sizes and organizer systems that you will find yourself wanting to try out several to see what works best for you. And there are all the funnels for the various container sizes! See what I mean about worms?
How can we store our leftover drills?
There are numerous ways to store your drills. That can be in Ziploc bags, little TicTac style boxes, round jars, drawers, etc. Plus, there are more containers to keep all the little containers in. There are whole organization schemes for diamond painting, even some with designer names, such as the Elizabeth Ward system. Pick whichever one you like. Or more than one, as many of us just can’t decide on a single system, or want to try several before making that decision. I use this large bag because it has a pocket to store other accessories as well and it’s portable if I’m going to be away from home for a long period. I have two large ones, one for solid opaque drills, and one for the rhinestone colors. I think I now need a third one for all the special drills I have discovered lately. https://amzn.to/4sijAIH
I’m not interested in sorting my leftover drills, but I don’t want to throw them in the trash either. Any ideas?
Some people just toss them all in a jar, unsorted and mixed up and use them in decorative vases to stick dried flowers into as if they were bits of colored sand. You can glue them randomly on mirror tiles to create borders around them. Additionally, they are generally safe to use inside a fishbowl or tank, if they are thoroughly cleaned and secured with aquarium-safe silicone. They should be placed where fish cannot eat them. Since they are small and shiny, they may be mistaken for food by some fish species. Here are some options for aquarium-safe silicone: https://amzn.to/4mBsL4Y
You can also throw them in MY direction! I would LOVE to have your leftover, unsorted drills!
