how to keep your cross stitch cotton tidy

One of my favourite hobbies is cross stitch but I often lose it, when the cross stitch cotton elves come and turn it into tangle hahaha

So I've decided, in order to be able to create some more master pieces I'd have to tackle that first.

I've gathered few supplies, plain old wooden pegs, liquid paper correction fluid, permanent pen and clear nail polish.

I used the liquid paper to paint small strip on the top of the peg and let it dry.

Then I used a permanent Sharpie pen to write the code number of the cotton for easy reference, again let dry for few minutes and then use a clear nail polish to paint a protective coating over the whole white section.

Let dry and then wrap your cotton over the bottom part of the peg.

Tadaaaa....

It is now all the fun it should be...

And here are a couple of my finished pieces...
