Resource Behold the Stringdleholder

For holding embroidery strings and needles: the stringdleholder! Not technically embroidery, but a tool made for it. I saw a little needle-holder book in Hobby Lobby and thought that I could probably make something like it to suit my purposes. I also wanted some way to keep all the little partial sections of embroidery floss organized until I got to them, and hopefully this will help (though I can already tell I have too many 3-stand pieces floating around to fit in here.

Made with felt, two pieces of cardboard, a little bit of gray craft foam, white glue, and some green glittery hot glue that could not be removed from the glue gun once I put it in there years ago.

This is brilliant (and I love the comment on the glittery hot glue xD). For the clasp, did you use a magnet, or?

I did! Forgot to put that in the supplies list lol. The front piece of cardboard has a hole cut in it for the second magnet, then all covered up with the felt :D
