Thread Bin

I too use very similar tools for my applique to those already shown. Instead I will show a little thread rubbish bin that I made years ago and still find very handy. I saw this idea somewhere, unfortunately I cannot remember where! Firstly I purchased a small container of chips from my local supermarket. Then you have to eat the chips (that is the fun part!!!).

Give the chip container a wipe out, cut a small hole in the lid, put the lid back onto the container and there you go a small thread rubbish bin! I find it handy to pop extra needles and pins around the lid so they are there when I need them. I know it would look so much better if I covered the container with fabric, but hey, with all the applique needing to be done I just don't have the time!!!

Gotta love recycling!!
