Thread Kebabs
This is an easy way to keep thread spools organized. It makes it easy to search through a large stash of spools without tangling...
Measure Your Container
We keep our thread spools in a drawer of the sewing table.
Cut Some Dowels
I made our sticks a couple inches shorter than the drawer. 3/16" or 1/4" dowels work well for the holes in the spools. A nice way to finish the ends of the dowels is to give them a twist or two in a pencil sharpener. Hopefully your pencil sharpener is sharp.
Find Some Stoppers
I found some little rubber container lids with a hole in them at my favorite surplus store. But you can use whatever you have: mini clothespins, rubber bands, scrap leather or rubber with a hole punched in it. Punch the hole one size smaller than your dowel size so it will be snug.
Enjoy
It's nice to be able to group spools by related colors or projects. Cheers.
