Use Knife Block as Clapper

I really enjoy sewing, but lack the finances to buy some things I would like to have. For quite some time, I have wished that I could afford to buy a clapper, like I have seen on some sewing shows. I was in the kitchen the other day and decided to remove the knife block I had on the kitchen cabinet to allow more space (my kitchen is very small).

It dawned on me that I can use the knife block as a clapper. Guess what? I did and it works just fine. Now it has a new home in my chest of drawers where I keep my fabric. I sure hope you can use this idea. You can find knife blocks at thrift stores from one dollar to five or six. Have a great day!
