Recycled Thread Board


I've been pretty excited about this project for awhile! I bought this (below) frame at Goodwill back in January. It originally had something similar to a foam ceiling tile in it, but I chucked it before I took a picture.


I could just see the potential. Everything has potential at $1.50, right? Anyway, hubby cut me a rectangle of pegboard to fit...then I let it sit for a couple of months. Two vacations and a little burn out later, I finished it! Better late than never, right?

I used my trusty glue gun...


to glue in some wooden dowels I cut up. I couldn't find any pegboard accessories that actually fit the thread hole, so I just bought a very small dowel and cut it in 4 inch sections. Hot glue secured them just fine.


After a bit of paint and some ribbon, I got a great thread board at a great price!


I love that it has room to put my thread and coordinating bobbin on each dowel.


I don't have a large craft area, but I'm working with what I got!


I will be linking up to these great parties!
