Yesterday was one of those days where I felt like I just couldn't do anything right on my sewing machine. So after a few "fails", I decided to work on a little idea with some embroidery thread. While I was doing that, I thought of this cute printable at Wild Olive I had seen a while back and figured they would be perfect for my huge ball of tangled up embroidery thread.
Aren't they the cutest little things? You just print it on card stock, cut them out, and wrap on your thread!
I still have a lot to go though.... I wonder how many more I will go through? :)

You have been busy, and I can tell...those floss bobbins are happy to be helping!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out, and have fun!
Cute, Cute Cute. Thanks for the link. I am a cross-stitcher and have boxes of floss. DMC no longer sells the cardboard bobbins just the plastic ones. And then you have to buy the labels to go on them because you can't write on them. Erks me. But I am going to be saving this link.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
how cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have that printable saved, too. It's sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteCute! My nest of embroidery floss could use some organizing as well. Also, I just wanted to let you know that I just nominated you for the Stylish Blogger Award. Check it out at http://greatgreenroom.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletewhoo-hoo!!! I just scored 24 flosses (flossi?) for $1.80 at the thrift store - now I know how to organize them! And I've got just the jar to put them in :)
ReplyDeleteI used to have a big box of this stuff and then one day I opened it to get some yellow and there were like 6 bobbins left!! where did it all go?! Guess I'll have to go shopping :)

i'm glad to know that i'm not the only one with a tangled web of floss ;)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I need to do that too...along with sorting all of the other tangled messes in my sewing room. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeletewhat a cute idea! looks super cute too :)
ReplyDeleteI feel weird, I have no tangled web of floss!
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you having to sort all that out!
At least Mollie's little cuties make it fun.
do they have them big enough for yarn?? my yarn is usually in a pile tangled together like that :)
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery floss is looking very cheery now! :) Have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI need to do that too,
ReplyDeleteMight be less tedious just to draw the little faces on your existing floss cards...of course, I'm not a fan of cutting.
