Thread Organizer Out of a Cork Board and Toothpicks

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.

What You Will Need:
-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

1. Start by laying your cork board on the ground

2. Lay your ruler or measuring tape down:

- 3" from the top
- 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. Do it on a slight angle, so the thread wont fall right back off after you slide 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

Hang your new board up

and

Hang your thread up!
