Homemade Thread Rack

I finally decided I really needed a rack to hold all of my threads.  I was getting really tired of digging through my drawer trying to find the exact shade I need or needlessly purchasing thread I already have!

I thought about buying one, but HEY, I have a handy, dandy hubby who is perfectly capable of BUILDING one for me!  And he sure does love doing projects for me (why yes, I am a lucky gal!).

So we went to Lowes and picked out some wood and some dowels and TA-DA here is my new thread rack!

I will take credit for the paint and the fabric across the back and for my cute flower in the corner and for them not all being at the exact same angle, lol, I got impatient and did not carefully make sure they were all tilted exactly alike before I glued them.   But, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my new thread rack.

It could even be made for less or for free by using reclaimed materials!!!

Easy Peasy Baby!
