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!!!
