I recently added a sewing nook in my office and needed to whip up a quick way to organize the many tangled spools of thread piled in boxes. Keeping things organized will help you get things done faster and honestly it just feels really good! This is one of the quickest and easiest projects I've done yet.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Wood board (thick enough to nail into without going through the opposite end)
Nails (Preferred size depending on your thread)
Hammer
Spray Paint
What makes this project so quick and easy is that I DON'T measure. I pick up the hammer and nail and get to work! If you are looking for perfect than I suggest you measure your spacing BUT I don't feel that it really matters. I did use a variety of sized nails because I know my thread will vary in size. After I hammered in each nail I used my (Rust-oleum) Key Lime spray paint to add color and let it dry before hanging it up.
Below is a clear kitchen canister that I got at a tag sale (probably for cents) and filled it with my spools. Another great organizing trick!!
