Tip for the passenger seat (or, what to do when riding along on a road trip): If you want to work on a beading project in the car, put double stick tape along the inside of a small container to hold beads. Put a small amount of beads in there at a time. Beads won't slop around and get all over the car, and you can pick up exactly what you need without risk. You will refill more often, but you will cuss less!
