Thread Rack

Thread Rack

  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!
