Do rainy days make you want to clean and organize? I made ANOTHER organizer this past weekend...I love this one the most....
Now isn't that cute?? I started with a box from the dollar tree -- it already had holes for dowel pins in the top! (It is meant to be decorated for a picture but I had WAY different plans.) For my pin cushion, I recovered my "tomato" cushion and I used a round chipboard container that the tomato would fit into.
Just glue the dowel pins into the holes in the box. There were many more hole than I could use. I just used my spools of thread as a guide to spacing. I let that dry then painted the box pink.
Then sew and gather. And stuff in that tomato.
I cut scrap book paper to size for the back and sides of the organizer. I used plain old glue to glue it down.
Sigh...let dry again... I also wanted something to put my bobbins in -- so I literally took a little plastic cup and painted it blue! Works great!
Hang on the wall and fill it up....
The pin cushion and cup just sit in there so I can easily remove them for use. I absolutely love this one!! It is just what I needed!!

Oh, my gosh, I love this! I've been slowly but surely re-doing my sewing/crafts room/office (I love spray paint, LOL) and this would add just the cutest extra touch. Thanks!
GREAT idea! I'll have to remember this when I start sewing...its a goal of mine this year :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Don't you just love DIY projects (and the Dollar Tree)? Your sewing organzier is very cute.
I love great organizing projects! You pin cushion is so cute. Great job.
I never thought of just putting a cover on my old tomato pin cushion! Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
cute as can be! I really love that it's pink, too! I have become a follower and would be honored if you choose to do the same!
Very cute and crafty of you.....thanks for sharing!
Very cute!
Thanks for these great organizing ideas. I am planning on organizing my own sewing nook real soon, and I am in need of a way to organize my thread!
Thanks for linking to my party this week. You have the best ideas. I love how you are able to take something and transform it to what you need. If I sewed more I would need one of these, but I only have like 3 spools of thread. Sad, I know!
