I have a large stash of old thread spools. This happens when people know you sew and they are cleaning out stuff and run across a sewing supply stash. They ask you if you want it and who can say no to giving sewing supplies a new home. This combined with the fact that I like to do a different themed tree and Christmas this is going to be this year’s theme. I am going to start now and I should have a great collection. Pop on over to the blog Bonnie Projects read how to make recycled thread spool Christmas ornaments.
