Storage Solutions for Twine

Now that you have all the pretty colors of Baker's Twine, I wanted to share some storage solutions that is both practical and affordable.

The 10yd spools of twine come wound on a sturdy plastic spool which can be strung on a metal "O" ring. Easy to see your colors and easy access. The other great thing about the plastic spools is that there is a slit where the ends of the twine can be slipped through so that they don't get tangled with each other. The "O" ring can easily be hung up or stored in your craft drawer.

















Another storage option is to place the spools into these mini plastic organizers. There are a total of 7 compartments, more than enough room for all the different twine colors. You could also store ribbon, embellies and other small nick knacks in this organizer.

















For those of you who purchased the larger 240 yd spools, you probably don't have any slatwall lying around in your craft room (*wink*). Instead, you could use pegboard with metal pegs, or even wooden dowels to replicate this idea. You'll need just a little handy work to put this together.

















Hope this gives you some storage ideas for your twine.

The Many Uses of Twine...

I get asked a lot: "What do you do with Twine?"

A: There are so many different uses of twine, thought I'd share a few examples that my g/f's and I made at Scrapper's Jam.


















TAGS!!!!
Baker's Twine is perfect on tags! They add a nice pop of color to finish off your tags.

In the photo below, Claudette used the Dark Red twine as the tie off, as well as on the banner string to add some dimension and texture to her Cosmo Cricket tag.

















In the next example, Leslie used both the Dark Green and Dark Red twine (which are perfect colors for X-mas tags) as the tie off and cute bow on the buttons.

















These tags are adorable and you can get the Baker's Twine in both 240 yard spools as well as smaller 10 yard spools. That way, you can try every color without having to spend a fortune on such a large spool.

PACKAGING!!!
Another great use of twine is to use it on your packaging to add that cute little element to spruce up your gift.

Here I die cut a take-out box out of Kraft paper. I LOVE Kraft and the different colors of twine look so nice against the natural color. I used the Purple twine and wrapped it twice around the box, finishing it off with a bow. Then I added a butterfly diecut to the front of the box for decoration. Who knew something so simple could look so cute!!


















FAVOR BOXES!!!

Another great use of Twine is to use it on your favor boxes!!!

Instead of using ribbon, here I used the Baby Pink twine on a strawberry favor box I made for a customer.
























Lastly, instead of using ribbon, I used the Dark Pink twine to tie off the ends of the candy favor box.

















As you can see, Baker's twine is a very versatile fiber that you can use on any craft project. It adds a little cute element that just makes it perfect. Please stop by the store if you can to see these gorgeous projects in person. And you can visit the online store to view all the pretty colors!
