Embroidery Thread and Washi Tape

I saw a cute image on Pinterest last week 

to organise embroidery thread.


The image is from Mrs Jones blog 

Colourful and organised! I love it.

A few weeks ago, I purchased a fishing tackle box to store 

my embroidery thread. Last week I purchased some wooden pegs. 



The fishing tackle box was a bit boring so I pulled out my stash 

of washi tape and started decorating it. Huge improvement! 


Now it's a pretty embroidery thread storage box.


It took a long time to wind my embroidery threads onto each 

wooden peg. Good thing I have a small stash of threads! 

It was worth the effort.


I used a pencil to label some pegs with the thread numbers.

Most of my embroidery threads are from cross stitches I completed 

years ago. Most of the pegs are not labelled due to this reason.



If I need to take my craft with me I have my embroidery threads, 

pins, needles and scissors ready to go!


Do you have a creative way to store your embroidery threads?

    1. You're welcome Heather. Thank you for your sweet comment! I love the 'Berries for the Teachers' gift wrapping. I'll use this for our children's teachers at the end of school this year. They are so pretty!
