Display Ideas For BBs

[Rosencrantz]

I've got like, eight thousand of the things and I have no idea how to display them in a way that you can see them. I saw another topic that I thought would be a good place to look but when they said tiny collection, they meant numbers. Oops.

I've got almost all the full runs of opaque BBs, so it's a big collection. Ideas? I'm good at building with lego if it comes to it.

what are you using now? How much space do you have to work with?

I thought this idea was really cute:

Since it's a do-it-yourself kind thing you could decide how many shelves you want and how long you want them. It looks very simple to make and the materials shouldn't cost much at all, so it would be fairly inexpensive. Also you could paint it whatever color you want to match your decor. You could even hang it on the wall to save space.

Right now they're on the backboard of my homework desk in groups of five. I have the whole desk, or I could put something up on the wall.

Spice racks or nail polish racks are usually a good idea Lots of shelves taking up a small amount of room!

I think we have a winner!

I took the spice rack advice and went hunting at the thrift store and I found this! It's the perfect size to have a rotation of my current favourites!
