Very cute idea for stamps - What is the actual stamping surface made out of? I make soap and do have one stamp for that, but it is a very solid material.

I just gotta tell you that those are "happy spools".

I collected for years till had had so many! Empty cones , spools of all sizes , finally I just tossed them out ! I figured after all those years and I still had not come up with a use... time to move on. Darn near filled the recycle bin. What a relief it was !

Your spool upcycling is very inventive and cute! I kept the 4 spools that came with one of my sergers, other than those, spools get pitched.

I toss them. But did come across this site with 35 ideas for you :)

One quilt store I went to sold empty plastic cones for use as a binding winder. I think they had a slot in them to hold the end of a binding strip. I also hate to throw stuff out, but am gradually learning to dump the clutter, so trying to get rid of stuff.

I donate them to local Girl Scout troops, Nursing homes, and animal shelter. Kitties love playing with them. I also donate empty med bottles to the animal shelter to use to dispense meds to foster animals.
|
I keep them in a basket in my sewing room for my 2 year old granddaughter to play with when she is in my sewing room with me. Sometimes it keeps her busy seeing how many she can stack up before they topple.

I have mostly spools, but have no problem just tossing them.
