As Mii said, only use short lengths otherwise it's only good to fill the bowl of off-cut threads.

I don't often have them fraying but they ALWAYS twist up so that it's impossible to railroad them. Your ornament looks great with them~ :Drosey175https://www.blogger.com/profile/00418995945160843165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510995522873719869.post-82069525355072889672014-11-21T22:27:01.419+00:002014-11-21T22:27:01.419+00:00What a wonderful idea making your card, adding you...What a wonderful idea making your card, adding your own personal touch.
