Cross stitching is one of my favorite crafts.
However, the floss is hard to keep organized, once I have started a new skein.
At first I used hardware containers.
But for me this doesn't work. The skeins would get stuck in the back of the drawer, or worse; on the sides.
I also seem to be fairly rough on my skeins. Once I start using them, they unravel quicker and the wrapper (with the numbers) falls off.
GAH, I hate when that happens.
So I thought about using those floss bobbins. However, after some quick mental calculation, I figured that would cost more than I want to spend.
So I made my own.
I started with some cardboard.
Found a pattern online.
Obviously, I had to make cute ones.
Got carpal tunnel cutting them all out.
Now, for some mindless skein unwinding.
