TIL my niece believes bookbinding thread is for friendship bracelets

She snuck into my workshop and used my linen thread to weave a bracelet while I was cutting boards. Now my current project is short several feet of thread, and I have a colorful accessory to show for it. In my experience, keeping curious kids out of your supplies is a constant battle, but your mileage may vary. I guess I need to invest in a better lock for my thread drawer.

My nephew helps me in the workshop sometimes. I found it's way easier to just show him how to use the stuff properly than to try and lock it all away. Maybe you could teach her some basic bookbinding with the thread she likes.

A buddy of mine did what @grant380 said with his kid and a hot glue gun. Kid made a cool cardboard castle, stopped trying to sneak it entirely. Worked way better than just hiding the stuff.

Funny how I used to think locking stuff up was better.
