For all threading projects I have always used tape on the end of the yarn to make it easier for little hands to sew, lace or thread beads. It is one of those things that was an OK solution but an aggravating one at that. A little piece of pipe cleaner changed all that and I am VERY happy with the results. The needle stays on, the yarn does not fray, and it's much easier for the little hands to work.
All I did was wrap the yarn around the bottom of the pipe cleaner, fold it over, and twist a little.
Works wonders and it's reusable!
The piece of tape at the other end of the yarn is also strategically placed so the yard doesn't pull through (or the beads don't fall off) AND is a great place for their name. Sometimes I tape it to the table so it's not tempting to swing it around.
I've used it with threading pasta for a necklace and it works well in that project as well.
Works for ME!! Go to We are THAT Family for more Works for Me Wednesday ideas!
