Spools of Creativity…

Hi, it’s Beth. First, we must establish that I can’t sew my way out of a paper bag. But I have this odd obsession with all things sewing. Recently I bought a set of five vintage wooden spools, and this is what I’ve done with them.

I love (sigh) the Curtain Call papers (and well, all of the papers) from Graphic 45. The patterns lend themselves to so many different projects, with a nice mix of patterns and images in many sizes.

I gathered the many sizes of wooden spools I had and started trimming, wrapping and winding the different patterns.

The paper is easily formed and holds it shape, so I only needed a few spots of E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive on each spool. The toppers, which include a button, a metal embellishment and spiral turned wire, are held in place with the new Crafty Foam Tape.  The Crafty Foam tape allows me to cut the exact size I need!

Supplies:

• SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™: Crafty Foam Tape, E-Z Runner Permanent Fine Adhesive
