I needed a way to keep my threads so I could easily cut the amount i wanted and not end up with a tangled mess. I remembered seeing a great way to solve this here:

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Embroidery Thread
  • 2 Scrapbook Paper
  • Printer
  • Scissors

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Go out and buy your threads. I bought mine at Michael's for about 4 bucks. Get some card stock while you are at it! Or any thick paper that your printer will be able to print on.

  2. 2

    Print out the little designs from the website and start cutting!! ::snip snip::
    I used a large hole punch for the sides where i was going to wind the thread around. You can just cut indents if you dont have a large hole punch.

  3. 3

    This is where it can get tricky, It took a lot of undoing knots until I got it right. I took the paper sleeve off my threads then open up the threads so you end up with a large loop of thread and slip it on your wrist. now take a little card and start winding! This keeps all the thread from tangling, (it still may get knots, GO SLOW)

    Now put all your little threaded cards together and admire them! This makes it easy to cut and use. =)
