Good day everyone!
I have a little sewing corner in my home office. It's just a desk with a sewing machine. That's what my space allows me for now and I'm making the most of it. But I thought it would be nice to have a rack to organize my thread and keep them within arm's reach.
It would be a dream come true to have a whole wall dedicated to sewing paraphernalia. But since I have space limitations and my crafting focus is not just sewing, maybe something like this is a better fit:

A spool rack! I've been on the lookout for something similar. I saw one at a thrift store a few years ago selling for $8 and I really regret not buying it. But why buy when we can D.I.Y.?
I stashed away this piece of wood for future crafting needs. Well, the future has arrived!
I painted both sides in several coats of black acrylic paint.
On the front side, I marked with a white pencil where the nails should go.
I hammered in the nails and erased the pencil lines with a dab of water.
Then I took out my spools of thread...
And hung each one on a nail.
The bottom nails hold bobbins, a pin cushion, and a pair of scissors -- all that I need for my sewing machine projects.
Here's my sewing nook and my spool rack made from wood, paint, nails, and lots of wrist action. I used simple materials that I turned from "blah to TADA!"
