Thread box...

I've been wanting a thread box to organize my thread... but I wanted one I could hang on the wall to keep little hands off of it.

So what once started as a wooden wine box from Costco (meaning, it was free...) and some wooden skewers...

...is now a thread box!

I love it! Nice and simple. I thought about painting some type of pattern on the back, but I couldn't make up my mind as to what I wanted. Plus, I'm haven't totally decided how to decorate my sewing room yet so I left it white.

Plus I think that the colorful thread makes it's own pretty decoration.

- I had my hubby saw off the top half of the box so that it wasn't as deep.

- Then I stained the outside of the box with a dark mahogany stain.

- We measured out where we wanted the pegs and hubby again drilled all of the holes.

- I measured and cut all of the little sticks (this was the biggest pain of all).

- Paint the inside of the box white, insert sticks, paint them white and there you have it!
