Sewing Thread Storage Box
I have always loved the large racks that you place each thread spool on but I have a tiny little room and it just isn't feasible. I needed something where I could "see" the thread colors and something that could stack to help with my storage issues...so this is my Sewing Thread Storage box and it is my solution for storing my thread! The box is approximately 8-3/4" x 5-1/8" x 1-1/2" and has a hinged lid, two inside boxes, and an acetate cut. The two inside boxes are about 2-1/2"x 8-5/8" which holds a variety of spool sizes as well as other items such as glitter bottles, dew drops, or items for gifting! This box is also customizable. You could leave the two inside boxes out and have a large box with viewable storage for larger items or you could use the "release compound path" and remove the two viewable areas from the lid and have a hinged gift box! The Sewing Thread Storage box can be cut on either the 12x12 or 8-1/2x12 mats as well!
