I have picked up and saved old wooden thread spools and finally am able to use some of them up. I've seen something similar to this on Pinterest so, that inspried me to make my own. All you need is a wooden spool, paint, decorative paper, ribbon and beads. They make the cutest ornaments for anyone that loves to sew.
To make, paint the wooden spool with a base coat using a color that matches your decorative paper. Let that dry and cut your paper to size for the middle section of the spool and glue in place. Thread together decorative beads. The top bead (closest to the spool) should be about the size of the opening or a little bigger. Glue the bead in place by placing the hot glue in the spool hole and putting the bead in place to cover it. For the top part, put ribbon into the holes of a button and glue the button to the top. Your done!
You could probably use plastic spools also just make sure your paint will stick to them.
