Embroidery Thread Bobbins

I am IN-Love with these Bobbins! Inspired by Heather Bailey! I had a great time out at my Local craft store picking out all the supplies! I bought .99 cent paint, a dowel rod, satin varnish, wood glue, a paint brush, and wooden finials! I even had to go to Ace to get a cheap saw to cut my dowel rod up! I spend a whole evening on this fun project and cant wait to make more!

This was very easy! I cut my dowel rod up into 4 inch segments. Stuck the wooden finials onto the dowel rod with a little glue, painted them, distressed them, varnished them, and then wound them up! :)

 I even found yummy Heather Bailey Fabric for my picture background! What could be more fun than that! I really had a BLAST! Hope you enjoy the pictures! :)

Thanks so much for this great idea! I am trying to do as much of a handmade Christmas as possible this year and one of the things I am putting together for my daughter is a cross-stitch kit because she loves it so much. These will be the perfect addition! Thanks again,
Cyn

Thanks Angie! Distressing was my favorite part! :)

Cyn, I am thrilled that you will be able to do this project. It was really fun to do! For the ends I used Candle Cup 1" or you can use wood finials. Either one would work. Have fun making them! :)

Very cute! I'd think this would work for small lengths of yarn for knitting colorwork too.
