Another tip if you are making tongue depressor holders. Drill a small hole
at each end, then you can pin them down, or hold them out of the way when
working. However I've found that they tend to crack after a while.
Last year when I was making my tangram piece for the Lace Guild competition,
I had lots of bobbins in a fairly small space and didn't have enough holders
to keep the bobbins I wasn't using out of the way. I did have a number of
new paint stirrers (given away free with cans of paint). I cut them in half
and made them in exactly the same way as the tongue depressors. I did have
to sand the end into a wedge so that it would slip under the bobbins easily.
I love them, they are a little longer than the tongue depressor and are very
strong.
