Tutorial: Thrift store mirror becomes a cool thread organizer

That funky mirror from a thrift store can become a mighty awesome thread organizer. Bonnie from Our Secondhand House shows how you can make the transformation. I think I have seen that very same mirror in my own thrift store! It’s so much cuter – and practical – as an organizer. She replaces the mirror with pegboard and dowels to hold spools or thread. I could also see this as more of a general craft or sewing supply organizer, using pegboard fittings and hooks to hold scissors and other tools.
