How do you store your thread spools? Here's one option: a quick, economical, portable, light and easy to make spool holder. Here's the best part: you can make one right away!
Materials needed: polystyrene from packaging, wooden or plastic toothpicks.
Keeping the toothpick perpendicular to the surface, thrust it into the polystyrene piece, about 2 cm deep. The distance between 2 consecutive toothpicks should be equal to the diameter of a spool plus at least 1/2 cm. Use a ruler and a pen to mark the entering points. You can “redecorate” anytime if spools with a different diameter need to be placed on this stand: take out some toothpicks or change the distance between them.
Cut the polystyrene pieces if necessary (my pieces had these shapes from the very beginning). It’s best to align the spools in a row along the edge of your shape, so that it's easy to spot the color you're looking for!
