I adore Pintrest. I was inspired by some ideas of Thread Storage I saw and decided to create my own version of a Thread Rack. First I shopped one of my favorite craft stores, Hobby Lobby, and purchased a white 16 x 20 picture frame with beautiful scroll detail. Next I went to Home Depot where I had them cut 8' long 1 x 2's into the sizes I needed. I used a higher grade of wood to reduce warping and knots.
2 Qty. 20" pieces
2 Qty. 14" pieces
4 Qty. 18" pieces
I layed out the pieces out to create a 16 x 20 inch rectangle and nailed these together by hand, utilizing a square to ensure my corners were 90 degree angles. Next, I centered the remaining 4-18" pieces into the rectangle and nailed those into place ensuring they were level as I went. Lastly, I used some small nails on the outside of the four shelves to create a hanging space for matching bobbin thread. I love how this came out and can't wait for more sewing room projects!
