On the floss, I finally decided to bobinate all mine. $1.99 boxes from Hobby Lobby and $0.99 cents packages of plastic floss bobbins. Sharpie fine point for numbers marking. ANd that 99 cent floss winder was a definate life saver! Just don't let the cat see your threads hanging down. Had to chase mind across 2 rooms to get a skein back....

Here's how I organized my DMC floss -...Jeanne,<br /><br />Here's how I organized my DMC floss - I got the floss away bags and put all the floss I had on bobbins. I didn't want to have to deal with untangling skeins when I want to stitch so on bobbins they went - then I got screw lock rings from USALanyards.com.<br /><br />Here is the link:<br /><br />http://www.usalanyards.com/extra-large-screw-lock-loose-leaf-binding-ring-RK-95.aspx<br /><br />I then divvied up the floss onto the rings 000-400 or so on the one ring, 500-900 on another, and the last ring has the 3000's.<br /><br />Of course, I don't have a craft room so the rings are in storage inside the Hammermill paper boxes -I have three of them. I tilt a ring into a box and then put the cover on it. It's not great re: pretty storage box, but it's better than nothing! Until I get my own place, I've been left to my own devices on how to organize my stash better. BTW, I no longer use the floss boxes, unless it's to hold threads for a project I am working on.<br /><br />It's not a perfect system, but for now it works - and it saves my sanity. Oh and I have ALL 454 colors of DMC floss! :P<br /><br />Hugs and Love,<br />Jennifer HJennifer Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883017363549224700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25707685.post-11425172915584526722013-03-21T10:50:22.039-07:002013-03-21T10:50:22.039-07:00How totally cool!!!!!
