washi tape twine storage

I'm trying to redo my scrapbook room and one of the projects i've done that was so easy to do was my storage for my washi tape/twine .

it was really easy to make and to this date has been the best way to store these items. all i did was purchase a wooden paper towel holder from walmart like this one:
unscrewed the little side post. 12 inch skewers from the grocery section. a drill and small drill bit. and some form of wood glue i used elmers

on the main wood post i marked 3 spots around the post evenly spaced. then about an inch down. did the same. but spaced in the center of previous marks. like this:

x     x     x

    x     x      x

x     x     x 

   x     x      x

do this all the way down spacing between 1 inch - 1 1/2 between rows
then get your drill and drill holes at a downward angle. drill all yours marks. cut off the pointy end of the skewer leaving the rest the length you want, mine are 8 inches. put a dap of glue on the end and insert into the hole you drilled. Let dry.     done!!




And just a reminder:


the ctmh New cricut cartridge artiste is now on sale!!!

  2. This is FANTASTIC!! I've been trying to get your blog linked to the blogs I follow on my iPhone. I think I have it now, but I'm not sure.

    This project looks like something I can get my husband to create for me. Kudos to you for being a "Tool Belt Diva" and making this yourself :D Way to go!

  3. I think I finally have you in my blogroll so I can take you with me on the road. Crazy programs....or rather I'm not a computer whiz and soon forget how to do things :-(

    This holder is FANTASTIC!! You Go Girl! I think it is awesome you made this yourself. I'm going to call you my "Tool Belt Diva" :D I think I'll have to have my husband do this for me. Power tools and me have a love hate relationship. They love to make me hate them ;-)
