DIY: The Great Thread Clean Up


Is there anything worse than a disorganized crafting drawer? Shelf? Room? No. Its the worst. And so uninspiring!

When everything is where it should be, organized and labeled, you feel like the DIY Queen/King that you are.

And, while you’re tackling that annoying-but-satisfying-at-the-end drawer/shelf/room clean up job — Why not craft as well?

2 birds with 1 stone my friends.

Materials 

All purchased for $1 at Dollarama:

  1. Clothes pins
  2. Glitter
  3. Acrylic paint, any colour, or plain white glue
  4. Thread
  5. Newspaper — just to cover your working space

Instructions

  1. Cover a clothes pin in glue or paint –  if you use paint you have to move a bit faster to step #2 as paint dries quicker than glue, and is less sticky
  2. Sprinkle with a little or a lot of glitter!
  3. Let dry
  4. Place beginning of thread into clothes pin clasp, spin the thread around and around till you reach the end, reinsert end into clasp

Perfect lazy Sunday but-I-did-something-productive craft.
