EMPTY SPOOLS OF THREAD
#73
I use them to wind strings of beads or ribbons on,( or bits of fancy stuff like that). I sometimes put them into wall hangings in decorative manner and the rest go to the local kindergarten so that they can string them or count them or use them in craft.
When I was a child my father made French knitting tools out of them for us to play with. He also used to attach them to all of the doors in the house at our height so that we could use them as a door handle.

There is an local annual fundraiser that is centered around Xmas. One of the events is the sale of miniature decorated Xmas trees. The ones that sell the best are theme based trees. I have used the wooden spools to make a quilting themed tree- they are really cute!

Just a quick idea..I like to make christmas tree ornaments with my empty spools. Pretty with narrow christmas ribbon wrapped on them to look like the thread. Loop a gold cord by which to hang them. Spools can be painted in holiday colors before wrapping the ribbons. Large spools, small spools, makes no difference...EnJoy!!!!!
