What do you do with your empty thread spools????

Art classes can use them for imprints on clay, paper etc. Think scrap books to. Make great designs in cookie dough also. Finger dexterity for supervised play to string them with kids. The skinny ones, cut the caps off the ends and cut up into small beads for necklaces for kids crafts in vacation Bible schools, troop mtgs. etc. Not that I have done all of these, but these are some ideas off the top of my one brain cell I still have left. Another idea, try attaching them to a board to hang stuff (jewerly, small objects, keys) off of. Cut the cap off of one end and attach to a frame for weaving purposes (might work). Hope this helps anyone.

I recycle the plastic ones, kept a few in the Grand kids 'Art' box. Let the cat have one or two.... the wood ones go into a jar. The large cones make good funnels for getting that last bit of ketchup , syrup, liquid soap, whatever fits from old bottle to new bottle. cones work for holding thin bouquet together in vase.. Handles for bundles of sticks, wood... ( secure bundle, insert twine, thru cone, secure to other side of bundle, carry)
