DIY bead sorter

I made my own bead sorter this past week.  I use bead soup mixes for a number of my projects where it's best to mix a bunch of colors together and pull from the pile as I work.  But for some of my projects, like the custom striped cuff that I just made, it's easier to keep the beads sorted.  I haven't had anything for the latter kind of projects until now so I've just dumped the beads in together.  Not any more!

I got the cutting board for $5 at Wal-Mart.  The handle makes it very easy to carry around when it's not full of beads.  I got the cups from Bed Bath 'n Beyond for $0.30 each.  I glued them to the cutting board with super glue.  I'm sure that other all-purpose craft glues would work pretty well, too.  So far the board has been great.  The beads don't bounce around in the cups the way they do against a plastic or glass bowl surface.  The cutting board provides a nice slightly textured surface to catch them if they do come out of the cups.  Hopefully this will mean less beads between the sofa cushions!  I'm sure that any of you who also bead in the living room run into this issue haha, especially if you work with a lot of seed beads.
