Spellbinders | Stitched Bobbin Die for Custom Thread Storage

Hello friends! A while back I shared a photo of how I store my DMC thread on Instagram and many of you asked about the colorful bobbins that I use for storage. Here are those photos:

I promised I’d let you know when the product I used would become available and it finally has – there is a new Stitched With Love Bobbin Clear Stamp & Die Set from Spellbinders. It is not identical to the one I used (as I used a Clear Stamp & Die Club product from several years ago, it is discontinued, I have a video HERE), but it does die cut the same size and shape bobbin. The only difference is in the coordinating stamps.

This is a fantastic product if you’d like to create custom thread storage for your craft room. Creating the bobbins is a time-consuming task, I think it took me nearly all day to make mine, but I love the result, I love how well everything is organized and how nearly the thread is stored in my drawer.

To create each bobbin I die cut the shape 3 times from either white or colored cardstock (a lot of the DMC thread coordinates with the Spellbinders colored cardstock), and I stamped a No___ to be able to write the number of the thread. I wrote the number using a pencil in case I ever needed to switch the bobbin to a different color thread.

In addition to the custom die-cut bobbins, I also use this storage tray to organize my thread. I have it sitting in my IKEA Alex drawer. It is fabulous for storing these bobbins, I have about 5 in each compartment and I have them all sorted by color. My heart is happy!

Btw, the Needle Minder (it is a cute little enamel pin with a magnet on the back, designed to help you “mind” your needles) is also available. This is not only a super cute product, but also something helpful to not lose your needle or the Bearly Art glue pin.

    1. I love the colored bobbins. I never would have thought to do that – but it’s a welcoming burst of color.
