Hi friends!
Happy First Week of Fall-
My very favorite time of year!
Just a super quick craft idea today.
A friend gave me some old empty spools last week .
She thought I could use them.
I decided to make some rustic
place card markers for seating at Thanksgiving Dinner.
I had a roll of orange jute in my gift wrapping stash.
I just wrapped each spool, single layer with the jute.
Went in the yard to find a stick for a stem.
I found a pinch of Spanish Moss in my craft supplies'
I pushed some moss in the spool hole, then pushed in the twig.
These could be finished at this point if you want to make a
small shelf sitter!
They can sit on a shelf throughout October and November.
I cut a 4'' piece of wire and made 2 loops on the end with
needle nose pliers.
I poked the wire in the opening-
I cut small leaf shapes out of brown paper.
I wrote names on the leaves-
I need to make some more before Thanksgiving!
The wire is strong and will hold a thick card
without falling over.
Here are more ideas for spools -
Thank you so much for letting me share with you!

What a great idea - I love the classic old spools and especially the idea of using them as table placecards.

Love this idea. I have some wood spools leftover from Christmas ribbons and just couldn't bear to throw them out. Now I have an idea of what to do with them. This post will be a feature this week. #HomeMattersParty
