I cant tell you how many times I go digging in my sewing box and find all of the spools of thread twisted together! This project is going to make your sewing days a dream cruise...well, something like that. It's cute, cheap, and keeps you organized and I love organized.
-Cork Board
-Hammer
-Toothpicks (notice mine are little umbrellas. Hey, do what you can with what you have, right!)
-Measuring tape or ruler
-Marker or Pen
-A nail or pin to hang it up
Lets Begin!
1. Start by laying your cork board on the ground
2. Lay your measurement stick or tape down :
- 3" from the top
- Put a dot every 2" across your board
- Put a dot every 2" across your board
Note: Play around with where you would like your toothpicks to be.
I choose to space mine out every 2", but do whatever works for you!

3. Push your toothpick into the cork board a little.
4. Hammer it in on a slight angle, so the thread wont just fall right back off after you put it on
5. Hammer a toothpick in each dot you made:
6. Measure 3" down from your first row of toothpicks to add a second row:
Again, you can play around with the spacing
7. Repeat steps 2-6
I did 4 rows of 7
&
1 row of 3
8. Hang your new board up
What a mess!
Hang your spools of thread up:
YOU'RE FINISHED!!
Enjoy!!!
This Project was inspired by my friend Jen.
This would look even cuter using my Bobbin Blooms that hold your bobbin and thread TOGETHER and lets you create your own garden of color! http://bobbinblooms.com/
ReplyDeleteI'm so making one of those. I'm always over-buying thread in colors I've already got because I couldn't find what I had.
