It is thought that these thread books were used to store embroidery threads and patterns. Here my daughter is opening one of the second layer of pockets. Stay tuned I'm not done with this project yet. #craftinavacuum #chinesethreadbook #zhenxianbao

I told @hannah.ayre that while others were stock piling toilet paper, I was stock piling origami paper! I gave made two small Chinese thread books (one each for my two girls). Each book has two twist boxes and two flower boxes.Underneath that they have two other boxes and the final layer is another large box. That makes seven pockets in all. #craftinavacuum #chinesethreadbook #zhenxianbao

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through pinterest when I saw a post about Chinese thread books or Zhen Xian Bao pinned by my dear friend and talented crafts person @floopy_b I was intrigued and went on to investigate more.. #craftinavacuum #chinesethreadbook #zhenxianbao
