Sewing is a craft that I picked up when I was a little girl. Cross-stitch is my favorite. Its a little labor intensive, but so lovely when you’re done. Right now we’re packing up our entire home (scary and exciting) to move across country. So, in my supreme wisdom, as I pull things out to pack, I’m organizing them so they’re ready to go when we arrive. I know… I might just be in denial that I can get all this organization done and I might just toss it all in a big box! Wish me luck! {grin}
For my pretty cross-stitch threads, I chose to use my excess supply of mason jars to organize them.
And because I like to re-purpose my supplies and switch up my studio from time to time, I chose to only embellish the seal lid, instead of the jar or the lid rim. I think they turned out really fun!
You’ll need a few things to make this sewing room organization craft:
- Elmer’s Pro Bond Advanced
- Wide Mouth Mason Jars
- Mini Wooden Spools (available in craft store wood section)
- Pins (with ball top)
- Spray paint in a variety of colors
- Drop cloth
- Wax paper
Easy how to instructions:
- Glue – use the Elmer’s Pro Bond Advanced to secure the wooden spool and pin to the seal lid of the jar. I suggest a small amount on the bottom of the spool, place it, and then fill the center hole with glue and insert the pin. Allow it to dry completely for an hour.
- Paint – take your lids, paints and drop cloth, to a well ventilated area (preferably outside) and paint. I suggest two to three light coats. Allow lids to dry for at least an hour.
- Sort – sort your threads and display them in your pretty mason jars!
Tip: When organizing with mason jars, I almost always use the wide mouth jars so I can actually get my hand in the jar. {grin}
I also made a quick 2 minute video if you’d like to watch me make this pretty little craft!
