I always like seeing how other stitchers store and organize their floss.
I have a plastic three-drawer organizer that I use to keep my DMC floss in.
The drawers originally started out very neat and tidy, but I gave that up years ago.
Here are photos of each drawer.
We have the greens and blues.
Reds/Purples/Yellows/Oranges/Pinks
Black/Browns/Greys/Whites
How do you store your floss??
Little sandwich baggies, labeled by 100s for the floss number. These, in turn, are stuffed in a bigger bag, which in turn is stuffed into my sewing drawer. Real classy. Not the best format for finding colors, but at the time I was doing cross stitch patterns that listed the colors by number.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have them labeled by the color number!! It takes me forever to find a number I need or I end up not even having that number!! HA HA!! Thanks for sharing!! :)
DeleteI use the smaller baggies (snack size?) and have a card for each number that I insert into each,along with the floss. This way I can have new skeins in the back and used ones in the front. I file all the cards in photo boxes in numerical order. This isn't my idea but one I found on FB and YouTube. Works for me.
ReplyDeleteWow - that sounds like a GREAT idea!!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing :)
