[Nfb-krafters-korner] Alternative

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Yes the type of hairspray will make a difference.  It did not work putting the thread on the table first.  When I went to spray, the thread moved and the spray missed it totally.  That is why I came up with another alternative.

Why not put the thread on the table first before spraying, or cup it in your hand. The idea of rubbing the thread with your fingers after spraying them is a good one. However, I agree with you, the floss works quite well. Also, about the hair spray, it depends on the type being used. I think you need something like, aqua Net, that almost cements the hair In place.

I just read an idea on StumbleUpon.  It suggested using hairspray to spray the ends of your thread.  This will stiffen it and help you thread a needle easier.  I did try this out and did get it to work.  I had trouble getting the end of the thread sprayed because the thread kept moving from the breeze of the spray.  I took the lid off the hairspray and used my fingertips to apply the hairspray.

I still like the dental floss threaders better, but it might help others.
