Threading a Needle Has Never Been Easier: Grab a Toothbrush

Among the unique techniques featured in online videos, one stands out: using a toothbrush . An old or new toothbrush can be a handy tool for threading a needle quickly and easily:
Place the toothbrush on the counter with the bristles pointing up.
Place the thread on the bristles.
Apply light pressure with the needle, guiding the thread between the bristles of the toothbrush.
Simply push the thread through the eye of the needle without any additional maneuvers.

In the absence of a toothbrush, a needle threader is useful, especially for the visually impaired. This accessory, also appreciated by grandmothers, serves as a safety net when manual dexterity is lacking. Costing next to nothing, this metal wonder has a large eye designed to simplify the needle threading process:

Insert the eye of the needle into the designated space, allowing it to bend due to the soft thread material.
Thread the thread into the tool.
Pull the thread to ease its entry into the needle while preventing it from getting lost.
Whether it’s using a toothbrush or a needle threader, these techniques ensure that threading a needle goes from a difficult task to an accessible and achievable skill for everyone.
