I first heard about needle minders a little over a year ago when I picked cross stitching back up after a four-year break. Being a crafty person, I thought to myself, "I can make those," so I ordered magnets. Once they arrived, I grabbed some supplies, like glue and buttons, from around my house and made a few. Then I made a few more, and then some more. This tutorial is a short video of how I make needle minders for my cross stitch projects. I hope this video is helpful to you. Please comment or email any questions that you may have for me.
List of Supplies:
- Neodynium magnets
- E6000 Adhesive
- craft wire cutters, like Beadalon
- old jewelry pieces, such as earrings, necklace pendants, and bracelet charms
- buttons
- enamel pins
- heavy card stock for resting pieces on while glue is wet to protect surfaces
- cotton swabs, like Q-tips
- wipes for clean up that is safe for skin, like Huggies
Please Be Safe and Aware:
- Neodynium magnets may be harmful when swallowed. Please store out of reach of young children and pets who may try to eat them.
- They may also be problematic for persons with pacemakers and other internal devices. If unsure, please consult a physician before using.
- Never store near or on electronic devices, such as computers, tablets, and phones, in case of potential damage to them.
- Please remember that the magnets are powerful and may jump towards each other while handing them. Please watch your fingers!
