Bobbin Organization...
I love thrift stores, yard sales and consignment shops! You can find so many different things that you can't find in stores today. When I see something that's out of the ordinary and cheap, I pick it up and see what I can do with it beyond it's intend use.
A perfect example of that…vintage mini aluminum ring molds.
Aren't they cute? I think they may have been for Jell-O.
Any one know or have these?
I'll use 4 of them for Jell-O, but one is definitely holding my bobbins!!
Perfect size and shape.
I usually keep matching bobbin with the spool of thread, so these little pans are great for the bobbins that don't have matching spools any more.
They are also great for separating machine thread, hand sewing thread, quilting thread verses ordinary thread.
Ok, now that I'm looking at this last picture while I'm typing, the center of the pan is crying for a pincushion!!
Now I'm on a mission…
Next time you're out thrifting, look in the kitchen section. There are so many wonderful things that can be used for something else!!
Thanks for stopping by,
