What's more frustrating than sitting down to do some hand sewing and having your thread spool roll off the arm of the chair and under a table? Keep your thread contained in a simple, easy way... in a baby food container! I have a few babies in the family, the raw materials were mine for the asking. This is not an original idea, you may have seen it already; but this tip was simply too good not to pass along! I used a small hole punch in the corner of the lid, popped the spool inside, et voilà ; an instant thread dispenser! One that is FREE; and stays put, too. Life is Good!
Love it!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Our little grand-one is long past baby food, but I think there is a container in the pantry that is probably out of date so......
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea. I am going to a quilt retreat in August and we are suppose to bring a tip/item for each person......I know what I'll be taking!! Thanks so much..and thanks to the little dots I have some of those containers!

ReplyDeleteWaaaaaaay back when baby food came in glass jars my dad had stock piled them on his shelves in the garage. I still remember wondering how on earth he could have filled so many with screws, nuts, bolts etc. Little did I know then that the glass jars would be gone! Same with the glass Mrs. Butterworths.
