Ok haha, a ton of you guys commented/messaged me letting me know what I did wrong with the thread winder. Apparantely there is a special slit for the bobbin which I didn't notice (oops!). It's great to know though and I'll definitely do that next time I need to wind some thread. Thanks to everyone who let me know!
The bobbin winder can sit on a corner of four of the compartments in the container that’s why there are two slots on the bottom. Much love enjoy watching your videos
Masha Knots lucky you can get lots of thread I only have one pack and it’s only 24 also in my amazon cart for Christmas I have $1k in my amazon shopping cart it’s all theread it’s around 1k so yeha
ME TOO...... and for beads, rhinestones, jewellery pieces, e.t.c.... then I moved and had to throw most of it out for lack of space😭 collection is slowly rebuilding
this is so satisfying to see all the gradients 😍 I love how you organized everything and putting a key on the box lid was a genius idea! definitely inspired me to organize my threads once I get some extra cash to spend on the supplies!
I know it took a lot of time to finish this but it was worth all the effort. It looks way better now. You organised your threads really good. It's really satisfying to see all the colors of your collection organised like that.
The way I watch this over and over again because I love seeing this organization method is what made me get so many bobbins and threads to do the same thing by hand. I have such a fun time and I love this video lol. 💗
i've been watching your videos for the past few hours and i just now realized that you don't have as many viewers as I expected. you deserve so much more seeing how dedicated and talented you are. you inspired me to start making friendship bracelets again!
Those color gradients are so satisfying! I organize my threads by which colors/shades I think would look good in bracelets together. Not as satisfying, but it’s definitely easier for me to pick out colors!
Masha Knots I think doing it that way is easier for me because I’m between moving houses right now so I’m not ordering bulk online, I’m just picking out a few threads at the store whenever I go 🤗
The thread winder “wobbles” because it’s supposed to be attached at a cross section of the compartments instead of one side of a compartment. Hope this helps!
@@MashaKnots the little crevice in between where the pin goes in the hole you're supposed to put the bobbin. the crevice helps hold the bobbin on the winder once the bobbin is in the crevice then you put in the pin. hope this helps!
I remember thinking'gosh, why would you ever need so much thread? ' when I watched this a year ago. Now I have 6 wips, and a box that holds the amou t of 6 of those boxes worth of thread and other bracelet supplies, while setting up a small business. You inspired me and helped me get out of a rough time, with just being yourself. You're an amazing person.
I have done that so many times... there is no other way to do it, but bobbins by bobbins, one by one. If you have cats, they really love it. I don't do friendship bracelets anymore ´cause the thread hurt my fingers, I do crochet now, but I have a box at home with more then 300 of them... i have been doing them since I was 7 and I am 30 years young now :) love this so satisying
Those color gradients are beautiful! To use the bobbin winder, put the bobbin in the slit and then put the pin through the whole thing. To stop it from wobbling, attach to to an intersection rather than along one of the dividing pieces. That’s why there’s 4 slits on the bottom!
My collection is an organized mess. I'm using a photo box from Micheal's and have them in smaller boxes in one big case where the smaller boxes are by color. However, I did not wind the threads onto anything, I just have them all shoved in little boxes still how they were originally wrapped. They will be staying an organized mess for the forseeable future since I can fit them all in one box for now.
I’ve spent the past 3 days now winding about 60 strings onto bobbins lol. I needed more colors in my collection so I bought a lot and you also inspired me to organize them in a container and make a color gradient. Looks so pretty and organized now:)
I have 3 of those same boxes filled and i dont have any where close to as much string you have. I wish i could take the time to make mine as neat as yours though😂😂
You did great organizing your threads, I still wish I had found the other link to the bigger cases that I seen on amazon to send you but I see you found what fits your needs! Can't wait for the next video
hi! i recently organized my bobbins and I found the most efficient way to wind them is by using a drill, I open the part where the drill bit would go off where you would usually stick the drill bit into and I stuck the bobbin in there. the drill kinda ruined the top of the bobbin because I put it in a big too tight but it works like a charm.
Great video. Congrats on getting all those threads sorted! Quite an accomplishment. Unfortunately I just stumbled upon your channel today and someone else has probably helped you with the bobbin winder but if not, you needed to sandwich the bobbin through the slot in the winder and then use the plug to go through both sides of the winder with the bobbin inside. ❤
I’ve been watching your videos, and I’ve realised that you deserve a LOT more subscribers and likes on your video’s!!! You are SO talented, and you inspire me to someday become just as good as you when making friendship bracelets!!! 🥰😂❤️❤️
I remember, back in the day, I cut thousands of little bobins out of cardboard boxes so they wouldn't go to waste. It took such a long time! I also had a box like the one you have, and I made 1-2 bobins of each color I had, cause I had so many skeins of each color. The leftovers are to this day unbelievable. I haven't touched that in years and just got back to it early this morning with a sudden urge to make friendship bracelets. I'm this close to buying one of each available color of DMC pearl cotton :O. I shouldn't though, I should work with the massive amount of thread I have before XD.
I never heard of a bobbin or a thread winder before. But watching this video made me realise who instructions for such high complex tools as thread winders are for ;) I'm just teasing, it's impressive how wrong you used it. I bet everybody has something they used wrong for a long time untill somebody pointed it out. Thanks to this video I just ordered two boxes, bobbins and a thread winder for my growing pile of embroidery floss.
Hey, if you notice, theres actually 3 slits at the bottom to put it on your box. Put it on the side at one of the intersections that look like Ts and you’ll be fine
Also I use cardboard bobbins. The slots in it hold the thread better so it doesn't accidentally unwind, they're cheap and better for the environment. A small plastic bobbin can easily end up in the sea
Hi. I know this is old but I wanted to let you know you can actually use a power drill to wind bobbins. It’s super fast. You put the plastic bobbin into the spot where you would normally insert a drill bit and then just power it. It’s a few seconds per bobbin and no sore hand and arm from winding. :)
Excited to do this got my box and bobbins today time to hand wind the threads onto the bobbins cause I don’t have the winder to do it for me 😅 And organize my thread
I keep all my threads and projects in Artbin slim super satchels. They hold way more thread and are super high quality. They also make bigger open bins for projects.
You stick the end of the bobbin in the little slot and line up the holes then put the thing inside to keep it in place and to keep it from wobbling there is a place to attach it both ways like a cross➕ and it stays in place
i found a nice pack of 150 (link: www.joann.com/dmc-prism-value-floss-jumbo-pack-105pk-assorted/9082512.html) but they look sorta faded. do u think/know if they are brighter in person or even more faded. Thanks :)
Marsha Knots, I learned a couple things, thank you. Whenever I'm watching a tutorial for making bracelets, usually they are tutorials for making lots of different kinds with thread & it's a lot of string & leather. Anyway, I'll get to my question, LOLO, as you can probably tell, I'm a novice.... so, is the twisted thread that you are calling craft cord, the core of like a lot of the bracelets.
You have to take the bobbin and side it in between the two gaps into the little slot and then put the pin through the whole thing. It keeps it very secure and easy to wined without the tape and tac.
The bobbing goes between the two plastic slots and then the plug goes in the bobbing does not go on the side of the bobbing winder I have mine since it came out over 40 years ago and I’m still using mine with no issue of needing blue tac to hold the plug in the hole.
I haven't read through al the comments,but when you talked about the thread winder,you should place the bobbin inside the slot and then puch the blue plastic piece through the hole.So from the sides you should see blue from both sides of the hole, no bobbin colour.
I took the thread winder and spread apart it with a knife and attached the part that you put the bobbin on inside of the tip of the drill and when you turn the drill on it winds them so much faster then by hand or with using the thread winder. Hope this helps
ive spent about 2 days wrapping my string without a winder (i only have two boxes)... i cant imagine how much string you had to wind and how long that would take!!
Hey u prob wont see this but to things with the winder. 1.) the reason it is wiggly is because the "t" shape at the bottom of it is supposed to go on the side of the box and make it more secure. 2.) instead of putting the pin in the bobbin then putting the bobbing on the winder u r supposed to put the bobbin on the put the pink in both the holes. I hope this helps and if u don't understand just look up the winder on UA-cam and there are plenty of tutorials to follow. :)
The boxes that you didn’t use from amazon, I have the same one but I got mine from Walmart for three dolors and it is better than the one you bought from amazon
If you want to have twistet yarn and a color variety try hooking yarn and another plus point is that it is cheeper. I used this since my beginning and you have more thread of one color if you want
For the ‘key’ (stickers on the lid), did you have extra ones to stick? Will have to figure out a different system as I have do not have two of the same color for majority of the colors.
No, I didn't have extra ones, but for the threads where I used the number on the box I just put the brand name on the bobbin so I know to check the box if I need to
You should make markers to put in the boxes between the thread bobbins like in a library that way you know where the book came from so you can put it back when ur done so that way the gradient doesn’t get messed up from taking them out and putting them back, u should use like a colored piece of cardboard or something to sit between the bobbins

Box2)Dark red - yellow was doing great blending in
And then there's green
Aside from inserting the bobbin in the slit, the winder itself can sit on a cross part of the box, so that it doesnt tip over.
Hey, if you notice, theres actually 3 slits at the bottom to put it on your box. Put it on the side at one of the intersections that look like Ts and you’ll be fine

ur such a hard worker!!❤️
I wish my thread Collection was as big as yours!!😍Love your channel you and some other you tubers inspired me to make my own vids!!💙💛🧡💜
with thread types i personally like embroidery thread more. i think its a lit softer and has a more mature look to it than craft thread

Just thought I’d point out I’m very happy because I have that exact same pink heart pillow you have in your bed
I bought a plastic container that came with the plastic bobbins plus I bought some cardboard bobbins. Heavier string goes on the plastic ones.
Excited to do this got my box and bobbins today time to hand wind the threads onto the bobbins cause I don’t have the winder to do it for me 😅 And organize my thread

I dont know where to buy those strings in my country
I know they sell those i just dont what its called here
I wanna make those good bracelet you made
It could be called fairy floss or tapestry thread
Embroidery floss/ thread
This vid is so satisfying 😍🤯💯👂
i literally love your channel
You stitch the bobin in the slit between the winder and the pin through the whole thing
Just re-watching this cuz I'm getting tones of dmc thread and bobbins and containers for Christmas
Hey u prob wont see this but to things with the winder. 1.) the reason it is wiggly is because the "t" shape at the bottom of it is supposed to go on the side of the box and make it more secure. 2.) instead of putting the pin in the bobbin then putting the bobbing on the winder u r supposed to put the bobbin on the put the pink in both the holes. I hope this helps and if u don't understand just look up the winder on UA-cam and there are plenty of tutorials to follow. :)
The boxes that you didn’t use from amazon, I have the same one but I got mine from Walmart for three dolors and it is better than the one you bought from amazon
If you want to have twistet yarn and a color variety try hooking yarn and another plus point is that it is cheeper. I used this since my beginning and you have more thread of one color if you want
Sorry crochet thread
Thanks! I'll check it out! I've recently found that DMC also has some twisted yarn, I got some of it to try too
I'm a beginner on bracelet making, and im purchasing thread. but what is the difference between Craft Cord and Embroidery Thread?
Craft cord is cheap and will break easily. Embroidery tread is shiny and will not break. It’s a little more expensive tho.
The bobbin goes inside the slit, then the pin goes thru the winder then thru the bobbin then out the outer side of the winder.
No one knows how a few colourful strands and a little bit of hard work can make a beautiful bracelet
Yep :) I spent 2 weeks on a complicated bracelet and my friend really said
*”I’ll give you a dollar for it”*
I spent a week or more to finish a bracelet
this was so satisfying
For the ‘key’ (stickers on the lid), did you have extra ones to stick? Will have to figure out a different system as I have do not have two of the same color for majority of the colors.
No, I didn't have extra ones, but for the threads where I used the number on the box I just put the brand name on the bobbin so I know to check the box if I need to
Love the organisation so satisfying 😊👌❤
I have the same case as you! I went shopping yesterday for threads and a case because my red thread ran out.
Wait where did u get that blue thingy m bob...I have to hand wrap my string.. 😭 or what is it called
Nvm I found it online...I love u btw
Kara Tanezaki what’s it called
It’s called a thread winder...
This looks so fun to me. I want someone with a crap ton of tangled embroidery thread to let me wind them all on bobbins 😩
Simply quuaakkiinngg 6:00
Maria. Who { what manufacture /brand} makes the craft cord. I have some but my colors are not as bright as yours are. Pls let me know. Thanks 😊
do you have like an etsy account or something where we can buy your braclettes?
I have been there and done that and what I had took me two months to do.
You should make markers to put in the boxes between the thread bobbins like in a library that way you know where the book came from so you can put it back when ur done so that way the gradient doesn’t get messed up from taking them out and putting them back, u should use like a colored piece of cardboard or something to sit between the bobbins
