Found a shortcut for sorting tiny beads that saved me an hour

I started making mini terrariums with 1mm glass beads last month and spent forever picking them apart by color. Turns out if you roll them down a tilted cookie sheet, the lighter colors separate from darker ones like magic.

That cookie sheet trick is genius for glass beads. You could probably use a similar method with different mesh screens to separate by size too.

Buddy of mine actually tried this with window screen frames. He said @morgan915's idea saved him like an hour of hand-sorting tiny beads.
