This is a cool picture I found online and I love that thread holder. I wonder if it is handmade or someone used something else to convert it to a thread holder. I have never seen anything like that before. Have you seen them or know how to make them?

Karen, I've never seen anything like it before and it's certainly unique! Thanks for sharing the link, it was fun.

Hi,

You are welcome now I want to figure out what that thread holder is made of etc.

I wonder how many spools of thread it holds?

Wow, those are cool. Thanks for sharing.

I never saw anything like that either but I wish they had a picture of it so you could see it closer and how it is made. pretty neat!!!

Karen, when you figure out how it is made please let us know. :D thanks for the info. enjoyed the site

Am I focusing on the right object? I'm looking at the 3 part piece on the left hand side...I think it's also a lamp! I'm no expert, by any stretch, but I'd guess that it is an example of Tramp Art...mostly wooden objects and lightweight furnishings made from recycled crates, boxes, popsicle sticks, etc... Could be a one of a kind real deal, or it might be a reproduction. It certainly is clever! And if I'm right about it being a lamp (see the finial, see the shape of the shade) then it is really a multi-functional piece of art! Thanks so much for posting...quite inspirational!

Hi,

Yes the 3 tier on the left side it looks like it holds spoils of thread. What a clever idea! I will do some surfing and see if I can find us more information about it.

wish we could figure out that thread holder?
