Ihr wisst ja, dass ich kein eigenes großes Nähzimmer habe und trotzdem den Komfort beim Nähen liebe. Mein Nähbereich ist in unserem Arbeitszimmer integriert, demzufolge müssen hier auch noch andere Dinge Platz finden 🙂 Aus diesem Platzmangel sind in den letzten Jahren diverse Ideen für platzsparende DIY Nähmöbel und Zubehör entstanden.
The curtain is directly behind my fold-up DIY sewing table. And what’s behind the curtain? 12 cm of space 🙂 Yippiii. Exactly this 12 cm depth is sufficient for the DIY spool holder. And best of all, you can customize the height and width as you wish. Push the curtain away, draw the curtain and they are gone 🙂
Overlock yarns and normal spools of thread fit wonderfully on it. The hole spacing is 6 cm (radius). If you choose a different panel size, you can calculate the material specifications accordingly.
My spool holder measures 58 x 100 cm. I simply used an Ikea Pax floor here. This had a thickness of 18 mm and is therefore perfectly suitable. Alternatively, you can also get panels at the DIY store. The material specifications are suitable for 140 spools of thread.
You will need the following materials for your DIY project:
- Board (e.g. Ikea Pax shelf)
- Round wooden sticks* smooth, diameter 8 mm (20 pieces á 40 cm + 10 pieces á 20 cm)
- Board for the template (width as your board, height approx. 15 cm)
- Masking tape* (if you are using a coated board)
- 8 mm wood drill bit
- 4 screws and 4 wall plugs for wall mounting
- Drill
- Jigsaw
- possibly some sandpaper
First, prepare the shabole. This makes drilling much easier afterwards. Drill holes 6 cm apart on the template. Use your cutting ruler to create a straight line.
Tip: we simply placed the template and the plate on Samla boxes. This makes it easy to drill through.
Place the template on the plate. The first row of holes should start approx. 5 cm below the top edge. Mark the second row accordingly with a pencil.
Stick the crepe strips (for coated panels) onto the previously marked row. This prevents the top side from fraying during drilling.
Move the template into the appropriate position. It is best to fix it to the panel with screw clamps. Drill the holes straight through the template and plate from above.
Saw the wooden sticks into 10 cm long pieces. It is best to sand the edges smooth by hand with a little sandpaper.
Tip: if you tape the logs together with masking tape, you can saw several at once 🙂
Screw the panel to the wall and insert the rods into the holes. These hold wonderfully in the holes, even without glue.
I hope you have lots of fun recreating it.
