Step 1FIrst gather your supplies. You will need a thumbtack (preferably clear), a spool without any thread, and a hot glue gun.
-
Step 2Second, take your thumbtack and put some hot glue at the base where the thumbtack will meet the spool.
NOTE: Make sure that the thumbtack fits inside the hole at one end of the spool. -
Step 3Third, secure the thumbtack inside the hole at one end of the spool and allow to dry.
-
Step 4Fourth, add some more hot glue around the thumbtack once it is secured into the spool. This is just to make the connection a bit stronger!
-
Step 5Then you are all done and you can try it out for size!
NOTE: Although the hot glue gun is the holy grail for all DIYers, Crafters, etc. I recommend using E6000 glue for this project because than that thumbtack isn't going ANYWHERE! Hot Glue will hold well enough, but don't plan on hanging heavy objects from it. You have been warned!
