The thread bobbin box is a handy accessory that allows you to keep all your sewing accessories in one place. The ordered spools do not unwind or get tangled; needles and other equally important elements can be folded inside. The shape and size of the box may vary, depending on the number of accessories.
Material for the box with coils
The most popular are wooden options with a carved top or sides. Wood is considered a hygienic and hygroscopic material, so the inside of the accessory will always be dry, the threads will not overheat.
The alternative to wood is plastic, which is not inferior in its durability and practicality. Plastic boxes with threads should not be stored in the sun, so that the material does not crack or turn yellow. Some manufacturers use impact-resistant polymers, in which case the box remains intact after falling.
Iron models are made in no less interesting design and style. Small elements of forging or casting are used as decor. To prevent iron from corroding, it is treated with special compounds that prevent oxidation in contact with water.
Cloth boxes are the easiest to manufacture. This task can be done quickly and easily. In order for the product to keep its shape, a metal frame should be inserted. Inside the fabric, you can lay a layer of foam rubber, then the box will look more voluminous and more beautiful.
Designing a box for spools of thread
You can make a useful sewing accessory yourself. To do this, choose a material and make sketches on paper. For greater convenience, you can make a pattern, which is then transferred to each workpiece.
For work, you may need an electric jigsaw, scissors and a pencil for marking. The cut elements are glued together or connected with miniature fastening anchors.
The final stage is decorating your own masterpiece. Here you can get creative and use paints, fabric overlays or even paper stickers. If you have the appropriate skills, the burned pattern on the tree will look original.
Interior of the thread spool box
To make the box as functional as possible, it is divided into several internal compartments. Inside such a structure, it is convenient to sort the threads by color, thickness, or other parameters.
Multi-stage options consist of several tiers. Externally, the thread spool box is compact, but it can also fit buttons, decorative stripes or replaceable zippers.
Sliding sash products are specially designed for seamstresses with small children. It will not be easy for the kid to open the box, so the risk of injury is minimized.
