ool idea I have also seen where you can get a glass based lamp that you can fill with the spools and have your own personal thing going on-I keep mine in a jar just so that I can look at them and enjoy the colors-I have also seen where you can use them in with Angelina? fibers to make interesting fiber pieces to add to another fabric

So funny, I was cleaning my sewing room today and I have a lot of wooden spools and old thread. This is a cute idea, however, I am not sure I want to do that with my wooden spools.... I need to find a way to not destroy the integrity of the spool and still use it.... thx.

What a neat idea! And I like the idea of using fishing line to hold them together rather than hot glue. I'm a bit messy with that glue and sometimes my fingers get a little too close to the glue. And with the line, one can take them apart later if wanted and use them some other way. I also like the idea of measuring tape used as a bow or draped around the wreath. And adding buttons... How about a little old pair of scissors that are dull and not usable, a thimble too?
