Hi all, I just wanted to share this awesome thread holder my sister made and uses. It is inexpensive, easy to make and so very handy. I made 2 in a very short time.
All you need is a box of the snack size Ziplock baggies and 2 of the 2" "O" rings. The kind that open. These can be found at any of the craft stores and most hardware stores. I found mine at the dollar store, my sister got hers at Joanns.
Simply punch a hole in each end of the baggie at the bottom, thread the "O" rings thru and then sort your thread into the baggies by color. Here are some photos to show you.
