Tutorial: DIY thread organizer box

Every time I think I’m going to organize my thread spools, I get sticker shock from the organizers you can buy at the fabric store. They do the job nicely, but wow they’re expensive – especially if you have to buy more than one. Fashion is Fiction shows how she DIY’d a thread organizer from a cardboard box. It won’t cost an arm and a leg so you can afford to organize all of your thread spools!
