Here is a quick project I wanted to share with you. . . . . . Last year I bought a book/box at Michael's. It was very sturdy and had a magnetic closure which made it even nicer.
I also bought a new magnetic board which I hot glued to the inside flap of the book/box and then lined the interior with a small piece of quilted material. The board fell off a few times but I realized I wasn't letting the glue get hot enough. Once I did that it stayed in place.
The box is big enough to hold my project keeper which holds threads and scissors and also large enough to hold full sized patterns, hoops and of course, your stitching.
I can sit on the couch and have the lid propped up with a pillow so that I can see the chart. When I'm finished I close the lid and set the "book" on the coffee table. I have seen these boxes at Michael's again this year so if you'd like to have a project box like this one you can with very little crafting!
Happy Stitching,
Diane

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever and handy idea! Thanks so much for sharing! I love books and needlework and now i can "combine" the two!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea Diane!! I had one of these boxes and gave it away (now kicking myself). I'll have to look at Michaels next time I'm there for another.
ReplyDeleteSo, I became a bit obsessed after reading this post and made it to Michael's last night. These boxes/books were 50% off. I purchased three. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteDiane thanks so much for this idea! I made some for stitching friends.
