Pennsylvania Sue's Needle Safety Tip - Needle Storage Tip

Store Needles Safely and Simply

By Connie G. Barwick, About.com

Pennsylvania Sue submitted this safety tip for Cross Stitch enthusiasts. She writes:

"To be sure you know where your threaded needles are, and to prevent children and animals from swallowing them, buy a small plastic water paint kit that has a top that closes. Discard the paint and glue a magnet to the top to hold the needles. The closed case will provide a safe and convenient way to store your 'work in progress' needles."
