How do you store your dazzling diamonds?
 
This is my question, I get fustrated everytime I use my DD because I feel like I'm wasting them. they are so fine and I lose some when I open the lid and when I pore some onto the image and try to get the rest back into the little container I also have some allove my fingers and clothes. I need suggestions on how you girls do it. Please.

in a ziploc/tupperware container with a measuring spoon.

Same as Emily. I do the same for my embossing powders and Heat and stick also.

I just dump it on over a paper plate or piece of paper and then tap it back in to the container. I read somewhere that coffee filters work better because the powders/glitters don't stick to them. I will have to try that.

I don't do this yet, but I'm fixin' ta do it when my feet land on US soil at the end of June. I'm also going to do the same thing with my microbeads.

I have Sandwich containers for all my EP and Glitters which i have probably 50+ different glitters but store them all with plastic spoons and i absolutely love doing it that way. I would never do it any different.

Coffee filters do work really well. I just hold my project over the filter and dump the excess off straight into it.

Plastic containers are nice, I use them too. Keep in mind, though, that the plastic itself adds to the static electricity that can help ep to stick to unwanted places. Same with microbeads...they won't "dance around" nearly as much if they're kept in glass containers.

I would love to keep them in there original container but when I pour the excess back into the jar I spill everywhere, I've tried the coffee filter thing,tray,paper everything. I heard somewhere that you should also put in your container one of those stay fresh little packages like you get in your shoe box. Do you girls do that?
