[@aseccurra6898]

GREAT video! I love getting my stuff organized, thanks for the ideas!

[@gardengirlstudio]

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

Loved the bobbin and bobbin bin part! Going to try it out!

[@gardengirlstudio]

Fabulous! Would love to hear how it goes! Good luck!

I don't have much floss right now. I use to. But I was thinking just before your video popped up, that I don't want this small stash to get away from me. I don't do any embroidery right now. I use it for other things. Was wanting to get back to it though. I already use the jar idea for fiber arts and sewing. But hadn't thought of dividing it by color. I will probably go back to the plastic box and bobbins when I get back into embroidery But, I must say, the one that intrigued me the most was the bins and ziploc bags. I'm a fan of ziploc bags. Lol. I see the potential of this in other areas of my craft area. Thank you for the wonderful ideas!

[@gardengirlstudio]

I totally agree! I had to hop on my stash before it got even more cluttered. I'm glad the ziploc bag system gave you some inspiration for your craft area! Thanks so much for sharing and watching!

My daughter had floss from bracelets. Besides embroidery, they're good for mending, making bookmarks, etc. That's why I save scraps. Tina, Al's wife

Thanks for tutorial, and i going to try it.

[@gardengirlstudio]

Thanks for watching!! So excited that you're giving it try! 🙌

I can't wait to see what you do with those floss scraps! I just got over the guilt of throwing my out (as I stitch), and now I might have to start saving them again. LOL!

[@gardengirlstudio]

Aren't they so hard to throw away?? So glad I finally started using the jars. I'll keep you updated on my jar scrap progress!

I liked the box with the little baggies the best. Although you can't see the colors at a glance like the other two, it is easier to just plop them in a baggie. I would think that having the chart would be helpful when you store the floss that way. Thanks for sharing, I'm glad we connected.

[@gardengirlstudio]

Happy to share! You're absolutely right! The chart really helps for the bag/numeric storage system. 🙌

you can take all your little scraps of thread place them in between tule and disapearing interfacing stitch it all down will make nice fabric for cross stitch project bag

[@gardengirlstudio]

Fun idea, Kathleen!! Love it!

[@shannahsnyder5653]

I am about to order cross stitch kit and embroidery beginner kit and I know I will have thread everywhere. I never seen this level of thread stash and boy I got thread from shuttle tatting. You are a thread goddess. All that thread, I would just sit and stare at all my thread but you have so many more that is a dreamy stash, do you ever feel guilty or feel like you need to hide or give excuses for getting more thread??

[@gardengirlstudio]

Awww, you're too sweet! I figured having enough floss gives me a good excuse to work on projects! Plus, I have to keep enough inventory for the workshops I teach. So, luckily, the craft guilt is low 🥰

[@sandrinou1329]

I think storage in sachet is the best solution. I search a solution to storage flosstube in several duplicate colors.... In sachet is good. I think I will choice that. I want to see at a glance which flosstube is missing and I don't want to take too much space. 500 DMC colors take space, especially if we have many duplicate in the same color. 😲

[@gardengirlstudio]
