Baker’s Twine DIY Organizer Idea

Craft Basics· Organization

I love baker’s twine! I find so many uses for it, and of course that versatility has justified my purchase of almost every color made! The result of my collecting is a jumbled mess of spools and cards of twine haphazardly shoved into a box. There were several “cutesy” twine organizers on Pinterest, but none of them spoke to my practical side. I came up with a way to organize my twine in an inexpensive way that I can expand as my collection grows, and keep it tangle-free! Follow along as I show you how to make your own DIY organizer.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-14Supplies needed to make your own baker’s twine DIY organizer: ClickLinks1

  • Darice Clear Paint Can (one per 8-12 spools of twine)
  • LockTight Small Plastic Storage Containers (one set per 6 cards of twine)
  • Ultimate Wood Burning and Crafting Tool
  • Various Baker’s Twines (both spooled and carded)

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z1The first thing you will want to do is arrange your twine spools inside the clear paint can.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z2Make sure that your spools are NOT packed into the paint can tightly. You need some room for the spools to be able to move when you pull on the twine ends.

When the spools are situated, decide where you will want your holes to be. You will need one hole per spool of twine.

Using a wood burning tool, with a tip the approximate size of a standard hole punch, melt through the plastic of the paint can about 1″ from the top rim of the can.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z4Continue melting the holes around the perimeter of the paint can.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z5When the holes are in place, you can begin pulling the ends of the baker’s twine through the holes.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z6Pull out 3-4″ of twine so that it doesn’t fall back into the paint can.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z7Replace the lid on the paint can. Repeat for as many spools of twine that you have. I found that one paint can will hold about 8-12 spools of twine, depending on the size of the spools.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z8With the handy top handle, it was easy for me to hang my buckets in my craft space. They would also look adorable on a shelf!

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z15I have a solution for the smaller packages of twine that are not on spools as well.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z9These clear plastic containers were perfect for a DIY organizer.

They come apart for individual use (when I craft on the go) or snap together for storage.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z10Using the same process as above, melt a hole near the rim of the plastic containers using a wood burning tool.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z11Coil your twine around your fingers so it is not a jumbled mess- and feed the end through the melted hole.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z12Replace the lid on the plastic container and stack the containers together.

DIY-organizer-bakers-twine-Crafts-Unleashed-z13This neat little bundle will remain tangle free, and slide easily into a photo box, basket, or another clear paint can.

z14I love that the containers are clear. The bright colors make me happy to look at. And I love that I have easy access to all of my twine! I hope you are inspired to tackle your tangled twine with this DIY organizer!
