Everywhere you go you see now wooden spools- I love them. One store around the corner had vintage spools as ornaments- but I was simply not able to afford more than one…because wowser…when did the prizes for ornaments go that high?
And it was not for a handmade ornament…So ….off home and checking my treasure box, you know the one with the things where you always think…Oh I might better wait till I have a better idea for this because I don’t want to ruin it ? Well I have one of those. And in there…JB wooden spools that I have once in a while petted and then put back into the treasure box. I made my own super easy ornaments ….with them:
I attached some 7Gypsies Notepaper around it, then used a wire and in the loop on the bottom I hang one of those also long time treasured blings by 7Gypsies and Tim Holtz Love Tag. On the top I put the ball- which came in one of the Cocoa Daisy Kits- I do not really know which company they are from, since I don’t have the package anymore, then on top a Vintaj Bead Cap and another one the other way around on top.
Then I used Stickles and Liquid Pearls for the spools and put some of it into the top bead caps as a filling too. Super Easy – and yeah- maybe not as glamorous as the mega expensive one in the store I saw…but ….mhhh – I like it better ;)
Now off to run some errands for the holidays :) Tomorrow I will show you all the amazing ornaments that our Secret Santa Ornament Group created to send around the world – so much fun !
