Short on a needle holder for your sewing projects? A simple wine or champagne cork makes the perfect stand-in, ready in moments.
As a seasoned sewing enthusiast with years of hands-on experience, I've relied on this clever trick countless times. Grab a cork you likely have on hand, insert your needles, and you're set.
1. To keep it from rolling, slice the cork lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces.
2. Lay a piece flat and insert your needles into the top.
Bonus tip from the pros: Use this technique to sew buttons on more securely for lasting results.
