An empty wooden spool covered with some pretty paper, some misc. brass knob hardware found in a junk drawer for the top and bottom....strung it together with some silk cord...
A simple little doodad to hang...anywhere...
The fluffy tassel was leftover from some pillowtrim, so glued it inside the bottom brass knob

Wooden sewing spools are harder to find since almost all threadspools are plastic...This was one I had left when I finally finished the thread...just couldn't throw it away! I covered this with Japanese washi paper, and left the manufacture label on the end. Covering the spool with a scrap piece of fabric would be nice too....

Sorry for the misprint. gailmarie Posted: 11:03 am on June 11th
(I must be lucky, as the antique malls around the area have had quite a number of wooden spools (some even in a keely green color), so I bought them all for future projects (namely, for my sculpture work). If you'd like, I could keep my eyes open for more of them and let you know if/when I find them.) Posted: 10:44 am on June 11th
