Cutlery Holder

Making a cutlery holder at home can be a fun, inexpensive craft that is also functional.

• Take the adhesive paper from the ends – It is important that if there is any glue residue left that it be wiped off as well. Dirty spools can be cleaned by washing them in soapy water. The spools should be completely dry before a person moves on to the next step.

• Select stains – If a person is going to use paint or stains on the thread, he or she should choose colors that will complement each other and the kitchen. It might be wise to test the paint to see if it dries as the same color expected. Placing some polyurethane on the paint can help it to retain its color.

• Line the spools up in a straight row. Each spool should touch the spools next to it. There should be approximately three inches on either side of the rack for it to be completely centered.

• Screw the spools together – Each spool should be screwed to those spools next to it. After this is done, the knives can simply be slipped into the slots in between the spools. Doing this will not only create a cutlery holder that is functional, but also one that is interesting to look at.
