My New DIY Thread Rack

I’ve been wanting a thread rack – you know the thingamajig I’m talking about right?  It’s a rack that holds all your sewing thread and not only are you able to readily see what colors you have on hand, you actually have a storage area for all your thread.  I wasn’t really sure how to make one but thanks to Sugar Bee and her Thread Rack Tutorial I was able to see that it is quite possible to make your own.

So, using some of that pink pegboard my brother-in-law gave us, I had my son…

cut it to the exact dimensions for the area in which it would hang and then spray painted it black.

I used a 1/4″ dowel and spray painted that black, as well.  I then cut it into 2″ pieces using a chop saw and then sanded and spray painted the ends.  Next I glued the pieces into the pegboard remembering to only place them every other hole.

And here it is.  A completed thread rack for about $2.00

Here it hangs next to my sewing pegboard organizer.

If you want to make one for yourself be sure to look at Sugar Bee’s tutorial.
