If you are an avid sewer or just beginning to explore the art of sewing, organizing your sewing supplies can be a challenge. One creative and budget-friendly way to store your sewing supplies is to repurpose an old cookie tin. Not only does it provide an excellent storage solution, but it also adds a touch of charm to your sewing corner!
Materials You’ll Need:
- An empty cookie tin
- Adhesive paper or fabric
- Scissors or craft knife
- Decorative washi tape or ribbon
- Various sewing supplies such as threads, buttons, needles, and measuring tape
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Choose a clean and empty cookie tin of your desired size.
- Cover the outside of the tin with adhesive paper or fabric. You can use colorful patterns or opt for a solid color that matches your sewing area.
- Secure the edges of the paper or fabric with decorative washi tape or ribbon for a finished look.
- Label the tin, if desired, to easily identify its contents.
- Arrange your sewing supplies inside the tin, separating small items using small containers or mini ziplock bags.
- Cut a small piece of adhesive paper or fabric to create a pin cushion for your needles. Attach it to the inside of the lid or side of the tin using adhesive or small pieces of double-sided tape.
- Your sewing supplies are now neatly organized and ready to be used whenever you need them!
Note: Safety Measures
When using a cookie tin for storage, ensure that it has been properly cleaned to avoid any food contamination. Additionally, be cautious when handling needles and other sharp sewing supplies to prevent accidental injuries. Store the tin in a secure place, away from children and pets.
