I’m a huge crafter and seem to be using twine a lot. When I’m crafting my twine seems to just go every where. I wanted something to hold to my twine in place but I also wanted it to look cute. I went to Home Depot and ended up getting creative with what I found.
The supplies you will need are a small block of wood, a dowel , a drill, a drill bit that is same size as your dowel, wood glue, a decorative knob and paint.
First you need to cut your dowel the height you want your post to be.
Then you need to drill a home in the center of your wooden block. I did not drill the hole completely through. Next, you’re going to want to add wood glue in your hole.
After your home is drilled and you’ve added wood glue it is time to insert your dowel.
Next, I drilled a hole down into the center of the dowel. This is where your knob will go. You want your knob to be able to be pulled out so that you can slide your twine down the post.
Once you’ve finished you can paint it or leave it unfinished wood. I’m using ivory chalk paint with an antique wax over it.
These are so fun and easy to make. I also think this would be an amazing gift idea for a crafter.
Very cute I will be making them ,you differently need more then one .im new and loving what you do.Thank you for all you do.♥️
That’s nice dont have to look around for twine just put on the craft table and also decorates
Love this idea, right now I use s paper towel holder to hold my twine and ribbons
I wish you would make these and sell them.
All of these are so cute great ideas
This is also great for gardeners. I’m going to make one!
Barb I saw that you drilled partially through and then glued the dowel. I’m just curious did you also also put or drill the circles around the center hole? If “Yes” was that for function or for decorative texture. Lastly is “yes” what did you use to do that?
Making this today. Love pretty things and this is elegant looking to hang supplys on. Keep blogging. Also making Christmas tree out of 3 globes off ceiling fan, but unsure what to put on top. suggestions.
I just recently got some old spools from an antique store. I am going to try making these.
I have a few bigger ones for my paper towels.
At first glance I thought you had put it on a perfume bottle because the top was so pretty! Then I realized the twine wouldn’t fit over a bottle like that. Duh! This turned out really nice, looks good just sitting out somewhere (as happens whenever I’m crafting!). Thanks for your great ideas!
I believe the ornate square that the hole was drilled in is available at Lowe’s in the crown molding section. I have a couple if those.
This idea would be great for multiple rolls of ribbon.
This looks easy to do, going to give it a try, Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea.
