I think it's an art piece myself! I just love how it looks, so colorful. I know I should protect them from the sun, but it's worth it just to look at them!

He just took a piece of peg board, painted it yellow and framed it. Then he cut 1/4" dowels into 2" legnths and glued them in holes spaced far enough apart to hold your spools. Then he hung it on the wall. I could not be happier with it.

Technically, I figured it all out on how big the peg board needed to be by laying my spools on it and deciding how far apart the pegs had to be to fit the most spools on it. Took a little thinking before cutting!

2754This is a great idea but I don't have a spare wall and would also worry about the threads getting dusty???? Lyn
29801Wonderful... I wish I had half that many.. Great job also with the frame.
Flowers for you.

Yes I do! I'm glad the rest of you understand how I can look at a wall full of thread and get all excited!
Thank you.
11108533579Very nice! Isn't it great having a talented housband? And a supportive one too. I have no wall space for something like that but enjoy looking at yours.

62459Wow- looks like artwork!! Lucky lady-I see lotsa stitching in your future =O) ~linda~

8767That is a really nice gift from your family. Now you just need lots of ideas un "some time". Have fun with it. *********
38135A great gift and wonderful holder! Just wait until someone gives you extra thread or you buy more to have on hand, that special shade of a color... then you have spools laying around, it's urking he he
45063This looks great. Your husband did a fantastic job. Looks lovely in the frame. The kids must of made your day on Christmas with this wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing with us. Hugs Yvonne
132773Sorry I should have read all the comments first. I see that he used dowel rods. Great job!

And, he painted the peg board the same color as my yellow wall because I didn't want to lose any yellow wall!!
2308I love it. As I am just starting out I have been trying to figure out how to store the thread. This is interesting. I can tell it is peg board. What is each spool actually hanging on?

My husband cut 1/4" dowels that fit in the hole into 2" legnths. Then he used wood glue to glue them in. Push dowel part way in to back. From back, paint some wood glue on the 1/4" bottom edge of dowel and carefully pull back through to front until the peg is flush with the back, no further. He wanted it that way so there was no glue mess possible on the front.
2308Wow - this is neat - I don't have a wall big enough to do that with mine - I have windows to contend with, but do have good lighting. LOl Tell your hubby that this is a great job.
44808Your DH did an awesome job on the thread holder. I use pegboard for a lot of my sewing supplies and I like how this is framed in. Makes it look so much more finished :) Now to get busy on your projects :)

15022This is simply fantastic. Your husband deserves a medal for doing such a great job. I too love the hanger about the age thing! I hope you can keep this covered too as the dust and light will affect them. Love and blessings Chris

My sewing room is on the north side of the house and I keep the blinds pulled when I'm not in there. It's not very dusty either. I don't know why that room isn't dusty, but it's not. I'm not covering it, I think it's a decoration all by itself! Maybe if I keep using all the thread, it will always stay unrolled to a new spot! ;)
234253VERY nice! Wish I had the room to store mine like this (and if it had a giant dust cover - arizona is tough with dust).
11257Oh this looks fantastic, enjoy using all your different threads

Yes, it's pretty much my motto. I kept 38 for a long time. I gave it up when people started patting me on the head when I said I was 38!

Oh I LOVE it!! I have thread on several racks. Is it those metal hooks attached to the pegboard to hold them?
