Put each necklace in a small "Glad" bag. You can zip it up and see through the plastic to find the color you want. It also prevents all the strings of beads from tangling. *There is also another way. I own a bead store. What we do is take plastic bags and cut strips out of them. This creates a "loop" of plastic. Take the loop thru all of the strands you want grouped. Then either tie the strip (most secure) or loop the strip thru itself, much like you would hook two rubberbands together. Once you have these groups tied you can then pick them up by the tie strip. Sometimes we even loop a strip thru the small groups to create a larger group. We have been using this method for many years. You can also cut strips of paper, slip them thru the strands you want grouped and staple the band around the groups. Have fun at Mardi Gras
