How To Make Your Own Sewing Thread Organization
Creating a thread organizer can revolutionize your sewing experience! It provides a neat and orderly space for your sewing threads, reducing clutter and saving time searching for the right color or type. It also prevents threads from tangling; that way, they are always ready for use.
Plus, a thread organizer can extend the lifespan of your threads by protecting them from dust or damage.
Oh, and let’s not forget the most important part! It allows for customization, meaning you can design it to suit your specific needs and preferences.
So why wait? Let’s get started on creating your very own thread organizer!
Supplies Needed To Make Sewing Thread Organization
- Mod Podge Pitcher
- Styrofoam Cone
- Dowels
- All of your threads!
Step 1: Prepare Your Pitcher
I decided to make my own Mod Podge Pitcher to use for this project. It’s easy to make, and you can customize it however you like. You can also just skip this step and buy your own container or pitcher from a local store.
Step 2: Prepare Your Threads
Go through your threads and make sure you have enough for your project. Place the spools of thread on a flat surface in the order they will be going into the cone. This will help to keep them organized while you work!
Step 3: Add The Styrofoam Cone
Place the styrofoam cone upside down in your pitcher so that it is standing on its tip. Make sure the cone fits securely in the pitcher.
If needed, you can use a bit of Mod Podge to secure it in place.
Step 4: Insert The Dowels
Starting from the base of the cone, insert a dowel for every spool of thread. Make sure the dowels are spaced evenly and securely in place.
Step 5: Add The Threads
Place all of your threads on the dowels, making sure to keep them organized by type or color. This will make it easier to find the one you want when it’s time to use your thread organizer.
Step 6: Display Your Sewing Thread Organizer
You just made an awesome sewing thread organizer – great job! Now it’s time to display your organizer in your craft room!
All of your threads are safely tucked away in a neat and organized way! Whenever you need them, you know exactly where to find them!
This is such an easy and affordable project – plus, it looks pretty great in your sewing space. This is a must-have craft room accessory!
FAQs About Sewing Thread Organization
If you have questions about making this sewing thread organization, I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.
What Kind Of Container Should I Use?
I used a Mod Podge Pitcher for this project, but you can use any container or pitcher you have on hand. Just make sure it’s large enough to hold the styrofoam cone and dowels. It should also be clear, if possible so that you can easily see all of your threads!

Your thread organization is ‘PITCHER’ PERFECT…;)
What an easy to organize those spools of thread. It’s a great use for STYROFOAM Brand Foam, too — it will hold those dowels upright for a long, long time. Sharon
I love it! I have a case for my thread, but this is a super fun alternative!I love that you can get thread from just one if you want, without taking it off.
What a cute idea Angie!
Brilliant & beautiful idea!
