Marty's Cross Stitch Floss Storage Tip

Organize Your Cross Stitch Floss

By , About.com Guide

Marty submitted this great tip about storing floss. She shares her method -

"I wrote every number of DMC Floss on a pressure sensitive label and put each label on a snack size baggie. Then I matched each bag to floss and punched a hole in each bag.

I went to my local office supply and purchased 2 inch interlocking rings. I placed all the 400's, 500's, etc., on a ring.

I went to the dollar store and bought plastic boxes with lids about the size of a shoe box. I labeled the boxes with the same number as the bags 400's, 500's, etc. Now I just pull out the box with the color number, flip to that bag and get what I need. It took a little time, but now my Cross Stitch floss is so easy to find and put up."
