Was at Jo-Ann yesterday and saw the most peculiar -- and IMHO -- ridiculous project sheet. It was for an adorable wreath covered with maybe 40-50 spools of embroidery thread and embellished with a cute pin cushion and tape measure bow. I thought, what a great raffle prize that would make! Then I read the instructions. You're supposed to HOT GLUE the thread to the styrofoam base! Can you imagine???? That's one expensive wreath!

Absolutely, and thread is not cheap. Maybe if you tied it on ...

Here is something similar. With this one, the spools are threaded onto the faux branches, and fully removable. Still, blah.

I think I would take a pin or staple gun to hold
items on so they could be used later on.
