Tips And Tricks - Bedside table needleminder

  PLEASE NOTE : I AM NOT BEING SPONSERED BY ANY BRAND OR COMPANY AND ANYTHING THAT I SAY ABOUT THE PRODUCTS IN THIS POST IS MY HONEST OPINION

Hello again stitchers ! Do you like to embroider or cross stitch in bed ? I know I do and as you know one of the downsides of embroidering in bed is that if you loose your needle , you are liable to have a very uncomfortable  night's sleep. 

Last week I talked about the benefits of needle minders and how that they help to prevent hazardous situations. However , what happens when you cannot find any needleminders ? I have come up with a solution that will help all of you. I have created a 'needleminder' that is permanently fixed to your bedside table if you have one.

What did I do ?

 In order to create my permanent 'needleminder', I simply stuck a magnet to my bedside table with adhesive backing ( the magnets that I brought are linked here). The adhesive that I used come with the magnet and takes the form of circular stickers that are the same size as the magnets. Please Note : make sure that you attach the magnet to a clean surface. 


 The way that you attach the adhesive is attaching the circular sticker to a clean surface and peel off the top. This activates the adhesive and once this is done you simply press the magnet onto the adhesive and then you will be able to use the magnet like a normal needle minder.

 Why did I do it ? 

The reason that I decided to create a bedside table needleminder is that I thought that it would be more convenient for me to have a permanent place for me to store my needles. As much as I love needle minders , it is very inconvenient when you loose them. I decided to mitigate this problem and I hope that you find this advice to be helpful.

Happy Stitching XOXO
