The Great Bead Sort

The project that we are currently working on requires 3,500 beads of seven different colors. we bought the beads in an assorted variety. We then had to sort the beads into eight different piles (seven for each color and one for the colors we weren't using). There needed to be 500 beads for each color and they had to be small enough to fit 30 beads in each matchbox. A friend came over and helped us sort the beads (thanks Rory!). We still need around 1,000 beads but we are doing pretty well. All in all it was a successful day.
