Magnetic needles, hooks for curtains, all kinds of holders and organizers - and other ways to use magnets in needlework and everyday life.
1. Needle plate made of a saucer and magnets

To make such a needle bed, you need a small ceramic, porcelain, plastic or metal saucer, a pair of magnets (the thicker the saucer, the more and stronger you need to take magnets) and hot-melt adhesive (the option is superglue). Glue magnets to the bottom of the saucer on the back. Using such a needle bed, it is convenient to store needles and pins, plus - you can easily collect crumbled metal fines from the floor.
2. Magnetic needle bracelet

A needle-case bracelet with a magnet will act on the same principle as the previous version. Take a flat round magnet (you can remove any annoying one from the refrigerator door), wrap it with a cloth, as shown in the photo, make a bracelet of the right size from an elastic ribbon and sew a needle-magnet to the bracelet.
3. Concealed clasp of magnets

Instead of a special magnetic fastener for a bag or cosmetic bag, you can use ordinary magnets - you will need two magnets of the same shape and size.Before work, find out which sides attract magnets and mark the sides so as not to mess up. First, make a "pocket" of adhesive non-woven or doubler, hiding the magnet there. Then glue it from the inside to the desired location on the part. Repeat with another magnet.
4. Fabric decorations on magnets

Paper, fabric or thin plastic lampshade can be decorated with a removable decor on magnets - you can always remove it or change its location, achieving a new effect. Glue a magnet to the fabric or paper decorative flower on the back. The second magnet will hold the flower on the lampshade. By the way, in the same way you can fix the badge on the blouse, if you do not want to pierce it with a pin.
5. Magnetic pickup for curtains

In such an organizer, you can store threads in skeins, ribbons and cords, small flaps of fabrics and so on. To make it, you will need several tin cans (if the edges are uneven, they need to be processed) and twice as many magnets. Glue a magnet to the bottom of each can, from the inside, glue the same magnets onto the base that will hold the cans.
