When Jo and I were working on the design for the felt teddy bear kits that we recently donated to a local American Diabetes Association event, we were faced with the task of threading yarn through a needle. Getting regular sewing thread through the tiny eye of a needle can be hard enough, but when you’re dealing with big, fat yarn, it’s an extra challenge. Fortunately, I had a trick up my sleeve that really helped.
Of course you’ll want to start with a large eyed needle,
Push the folded end of the paper through the eye of the needle. This paper edge will be straight and firm, and so much easier to push through that hole than the ragged end of the yarn is. Pull the paper through and remove it, and now you’ve got your threaded needle!

This is such a great idea and alot better than what I was doing. I was using tape and each time I had to thread a new piece of yarn I had to retape it. This idea is reuseable
Do you always have trouble buying a bird feeder? well not anymore you can make a bird feeder out of just a spoon,bird food,and a water bottle! Okay heres what you do you make two litte slits in the bottle then you shove the bottem part of the spoon through the two slits then turn the spoon upright next tape the exposed parts of the slits then just fill the bottle up withbird food and your good to go just dont fill it up all the way!
