Keep those threads from Knotting!
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

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:

  1. Step 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. Step 2

    Step 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. Step 3

    Step 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)

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

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

Those are to pretty. I hate the ones you can buy in the store their always so ugly and you cant write on them >.> I like to write the colour of the thread number so I know what it is when I run out

I have something like that. But I hate to wrap them because the thread something gets tangled and I want to throw it out the window! But they do look nice and neat and pretty!
