Somerset Life has become my favorite magazine.......it is so full of amazingly wonderful and creative ideas. I had seen a couple of projects in the magazine done using old thread spools and wanted to put my own spin on this great idea. This is what I came up with.......
I decided to use them as embellishments for some burlap runners and pillows I made. I simply wrapped a piece of scrapbooking paper around the spool and using wire, pearls and crystals made a little "eye catcher" to hang beside my coffee dyed price tags.
Happy day my blogging buddies!

Another clever project by you! That is so fun and pretty. I love it! Have a nice holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming embellishment for your pillows and runners. I've attached vintage pins to pillows, but adding something dangly just takes it to the next level!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet idea! Love it!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great looking embellishement. I can't tell you how many of my projects are inspired by Stampington mags. My mind explodes each time I see one. Lisa
Hi Janis,
ReplyDeleteI bought a big lot of vintage spools, I was going to wrap them in sheet music some day. I am still in my 'scrapbooking mode'. Not even blogging lately. But at least I am being creative. Do you think my followers would be interested in my scrapbook pages?
Your spools are so pretty.
Love this post. The tags and the spools are just plain adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute project, Janis! I'm always trying to think of things to do with old spools!
ReplyDeleteHi Janis,
ReplyDeleteThat is so totally adorable! I would love to learn how to do tags like that. tutorial??? :) :}
