My latest 'Crafty Idea'
 

I wanted to Show Off my 'Thread Stands' I've been making these for the 'Linus Project' we use them as Door prizes!
I get the old paper towel holders at a 'Goodie Store' and use the Wire from Fly swatters a little drilling, glue, paint, and Off to SEW!!! :)

very clever idea. you can also use the big cones to. i have lots of big spools. thanks for sharing

Love it!!!! What a brilliant idea! :thumbup:

Those a really great!!!!

Very cute idea. I'll bet the winners are thrilled.

Fantastic idea!

What a creative idea, I love those!! I want one!!

These are awesome! I haven't done any woodworking in a long time, but I really want to make a couple of these! They'd be much sturdier than the plastic ones the stores sell, much less likely to wobble, AND you can keep the colors you use most on a couple at the same time!

great idea!!!!

Ditto Very clever

I love your craftiness.
These look great.

Sew cute! I love the apple one, being a teacher and all.

Very clever and oh so cute.

Really clever idea. I'm currently using a tall glass to hold my spool and it seems to do just fine. I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those holders. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great idea!

Thanks for sharing, that is a great idea. Okay, on the look out at when next go thrift shopping.

Me, too! Those are about a zillion times cuter than my thread stand! What a great, creative idea!

Great idea and so cute too. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice I use mine all the time. Thanks for sharing an excellant craft project.

I feel left out because I never heard of a thread stand! How do you use it?!!

Wonderful idea! I have a friend that just started quilting and doesn't have a lot of money so this is a great idea I will pass along to her.

I need to get a paper towel holder!! I got a beautiful "hook" that I think is some kind of candle holder for $.50 but there's nothing to hold a cone! I have been using a jar, but I think the paper towel holder would be much nicer! Thanks for sharing!

recycling at it's finest. it's amazing how resourceful we quilters are

that is a great way to repurpose-thanks for sharing

So clever, they are so practical, bet the people that win them are delighted

Those have so much character. Good job!

What a cute idea!

Very good idea! Think I'll steal it and make me one, thanks.

Nice Idea, looks easy enough.

Very clever...I love the apple one.

These look much nicer and much more sturdy than the plastic ones. Thanks for sharing.

Cool idea!

WOW what a great idea.

What a great idea!

Oh thank you so much for this idea. I am going to hunt down one at my "Sally" (salvation army) and have dear husband fix it.

Great idea!

Well, aren't you clever?!!! What a great idea. I'm getting a new machine this week and was wondering if I afford to pick up another (Have 3 already) thread stand! Now I know how to do it! Thanks!

How unique and creative! Love it when gizmos are recycled.

cute idea!!!
