Repurposed Rolodex

August 16, by Alissa. 2 Comments

rolodex.jpgLove to organize? Would you love to become organized? Christy Petterson at getcrafty.com transformed a hand-me-down Rolodex into a craft organizer. She’s especially fond of dyeing fabric and making jewelry, and she finds that she can keep track of tiny jewelry parts and their part numbers by attaching them to flip-through Rolodex cards.

This would be great for any craft, really. Paint swatches, thread samples, yarn samples, ink pad samples – all of these, plus their pertinent information, would fit well onto these handy cards. It’s like a design file, only smaller.

    This is neat, I’ve seen some made with pages from the discarded subscription cards that are stuffed in magazines and I’m playing with the idea of creating something like that for myself too.

Recycled wood thread spools make a great tiny “canvas” for fiber art

Just because a vintage wood thread spool isn’t flat doesn’t mean it isn’t the perfect little space to feature art on. Thread art on fabric or wool is great or paintings on paper or canvas could work too. Pop on over to teh blog Winding Vine Wanderings for more about this cute little stitched art on a recycled vintage wood thread spools.
