My daughter likes to make friendship bracelets.
This is what her stash of embroidery floss looks looked like.
I was wasting time on my new favorite website (pinterest.com),
and I saw a photo of embroidery floss wrapped around clothes pins.
I just happened to have two packs of
clothes pins from the dollar store (30 pins for $1)
I used two packs. $2.00
Looks so much better, don't you think?
I guess I didn't totally waste my time.

this is fabulous! What a great job! I downloaded wee illustrated bobbin type organizers for embroidery floss but it looked like far too much effort. Think I did about four colours and got bored lol
That is really smart! :)
Oh that looks nice :-))
YES. ADDICTED to Pinterest and have pinned this to my 'fab ideads' board!

This is making the rounds again on Pinterest, and I've shared it on my blog. Thanks for the idea!
I'm also on Pinterest and I pinned this on my board stuff for school. I so look forward to have it this way, rather than spending a lot of time "de-tangling" the wanted color.Great idea, thank you for sharing!
What a great and colorful idea! Mine are stuffed in away in a box, a waist of all those beautiful colors. :-)
I discoverd pinterest a while ago but just started my own pinboards.
Just spent the last hour doing this to my threads... Yay for organisation! :D
Using clothes pins to organize floss is brilliant! So glad I stopped by. Thank you for sharing. Oh! I just spotted the corgi photos. : ) We have our third. Love them so!
Verry beautiful!! Found this pic on pinterest and caught my eye.
Greetings from the Netherlands! xx
So, so smart! I love the idea and I am definitely going to have to do this!
great idea! and it looks so pretty <3
Do you remove the metal springs in the middle?
Anonymous: no, I don't remove them. I just wrap away.
What a clever idea! Love this!
I love this idea! Very clever!
Heather you inspired me to organise my embroidery threads. Here's my blog post (including an image and link to your blog)

LOVE this. So does my 10 year old. Now she has something to occupy herself instead of fighting with her 8 yr old sister. These girls have been up together since 6 am - too excited to get to go to a sleep-over tonight (with their future aunt!!). I think 5 hours of velcro time together has been toooo much. Thanks for the cute idea - busy her, happy me!!! :)
Thought it would be a good idea to write the color number on the clothes pin for matching purposes.
This was really helpful, thanks. It's very therapeutic wrapping the embroidery thread around and satisfying seeing it all neat. I have included it in my blog: https://carolineburton4.wordpress.com/2014/06/15/organising-my-craft-supplies/
Very good useful idea. Thanks.
I create jewelry. I think this will work for small pieces of chain left over. They are all bunched up in a jar right now
Buenísima idea todos están con nudo
Hi! I don't know how to contact you since I didn't find any email adress..
A while ago already I published a post in which I link to this blog posts.
This is the following article (in german): https://www.diymode.de/geniale-ideen-fuer-naehzimmer/
To make an appealing blog post for my readers, I used a picture from this blog post. Now I would like to know if this is ok for you.
I am really sorry for asking so late! If you don’t like to be part of the blogpost, I can take away the picture, no problem.
It would be nice to hear from you soon. You can send me a mail to eliza(at)diymode.de
