Old Spool = Photo Holder
.
Inspiration:
I have a bunch of old spools and was trying to think how I could use them. This is one of my ideas.
Supplies:
Old Spool
Wire (I used 14 gauge wire)
Wire Cutters
Air Drying Modeling Clay
Ribbon (optional)
Glue/Fabric Glue
1. Wrap and glue the ribbon around the spool. I combined two types of ribbon.
2. Form the wire into a spiral to hold the picture. Add curves or bends to the wire to create the look you want.
3. Fill the spool hole with air drying modeling clay. Insert the wire. Allow to dry.
Note: The amount of clay I took out of the bag for this picture was about 10 times more air drying modeling clay than I needed.
4. Add a bow to the wire. You’ve just made a quick, easy photo holder that exactly fits your decor or makes a fun gift.
This is TOO cute! What a great inexpensive gift idea!
Seriously, that is adorable! What a cute idea.
these would be great place card setting-painted/decorated to match theme of the meal or even a recipe card holder. now if i only had some spools 🙂
I really like that! We inherited an antique sewing machine, with the wood cabinet and all. Several of the drawers are full of old thread on spools. I may have to give that a shot!
Stay tuned. I have a box of them, so I have several other projects planned.
I love this idea! I just bought some wooden spools today not knowing exactly what I was going to do with them but I knew I’d Google for ideas! Thanks for posting.
