Hi everyone. I have many wooden spools. When I cleaned out my mother's apartment and my aunts house, I found a lot of spools of thread that have wooden spools. I have been gradually using up the thread and now have a stach of wooden spools. Does anyone know what I can do with them. Seems a shame to throw them away.
Thanks Rita |
I have been in the process of redoing my sewing room and have many wooden spools from my husbands grandmother. I modgepodged the thread on and am using them for drawe pulls, the look really cute, I saw in on sewmanyways.

I bought a large old looking canning jar and filled it with wooden spools. You can find the tops with wicks online for them, and fill them with lamp oil. It makes a fun hurricane lamp!

Don't throw them out, they are worth money. I have a box with wooden spools and put a note on it for when I am gone for my children to not throw thme out.

i would be interested in purchasing them if you are willing to sell.
|
I would probly donate them to a church for vacation bible school kids to make stuff with.

As a child we made dolls out of them. We used a very heavy thread or thin wire putting buttons at the end of the arms, feet and big button for a hat.

I purchased a wooden spool Christmas tree ornament at a quilt show once. It had painted flowers on it. Every year I take it out and just love it!

My sister-in-law, who collects antiques, told me they would be valuable some day.
|
You could send them to me. hehehehe and I'll pay postage.
