A fluted cake mold holds my supply of vintage wooden thread spools. It was getting a little crowed in there, so I grabbed a few naked spools and started decorating them.
I love you still

I cut out the words from a few pages of sheet music and applied them with Mod Podge. This was the first time I tried glitter Mod Podge, and I like the way it adds a bit of sparkle to the necklace.

I'll answer you if you promise not to laugh....I went to one store this morning! The Hospice Thrift store! lol They had a sale, too and I found a few pretties. I love your cute wooden spools! What a sweet idea! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I just found your blog and I love your work ~ the spool pendants are beautiful!
love the spool pendants!
Very pretty as always Betsy! I love the way you can make anything lovely... hope you have a wonderful restful weekend!
Such sweet necklaces! Love them!
We're just staying in and having a relaxing day. No Black Friday shopping for Me!

Those are adorable - they should sell fast!
I stayed in and attempted to do a bit of decorating - and I do mean a bit. Should have worked on some gifts. :/
Enjoy your evening.
Очень красивые вещи!
They turned out great!! I love them.
Love your spool necklaces! The mod podge glitter is really pretty! I did not shop today at all. It was a nice day so the Mr and I took a ride in the car with the top down! FUN!
hugs,Linda
Such a cool revamp of vintage spools x
Those are adorable, Betsy! I have a bunch of old wooden thread spools too, but just haven't been motivated to do anything with them yet - might have to go get mine out and tinker with them!
I did go out today, but well after all the good sales had passed. I'm just not that driven to get up early!
Love the spool necklaces. I must check out the glitter mod podge. It looks great on the spools.
We asked our friends to join us on a day trip to a remote town called Crown King in the mountains outside Phoenix. 27 miles on non-paved winding roads but it was worth the drive. We discovered a quaint little village where we had lunchaway from all the hustle and bustle of Black Friday.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for sharing.
Fab! I did this with white Christmas music sheet for my trees. Nope not shopping today but did pull the tree and decorations out of the closet.
Hope you had a great turkey day!

Super cute gift ideas! No shopping, it's DECORATING DAY, the holiday the day after Thanksgiving at our house!
Hey Betsy, these are darling. I love using vintage sheet music in my jewelry designs. No Black Friday for me. E.V.E.R. I'm on the road with chickadee number 1 at a Mid-America Irish Dance Competition. Wish us luck! (And good luck to you on your upcoming sale. And you're all ready? I'm impressed!:0)
Love your spool necklaces....so pretty! I have one that has a wire bird's nest hanging down from the spool.
Hope you have a great show.

There are absolutely adorable! I'm sure they'll sell fast. Ya, we snuck out for Black Friday but waited till dinnertime to do so. Still a mad house. Good luck on your show. Lisa
Your spool necklaces are gorgeous! Great design!
Jody
Great idea!! Funny thing...a lady came up to me at church last week and said "What would you do with a lifetime of saved thread spools?" Think I need to tell her about this :) Thanks Betsy!!

Positively gorgeous!
I love your style and your goodies, so glad to have found you! I love these necklaces, especially the glitter! Will make great gifts for music-lovers! Black Friday, my in-laws and I always go antiquing, this year in downtown Gilbert, AZ. I got vintage ice skates to go with my vintage sled I scored last month--I also got boots for 40% off, I am a hapy girl! :)
They're adorable!
adorably cute, and beautiful.....
mp black Friday for me...=)

How I wish I acquired a droplet of your DIY and repurposing talent Betsy. I would have been happier haha I never imagined that these spools would turn to a great accessory.
I'd like to invite you to join me at the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week! http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/11/clever-chicks-blog-hop-8-turkey.html
I hope to see you there!
Cheers!

Oh gosh those are cute! I was thinking of you as I cleaned out all my old jewelry the other day and how you can think up something to do with just about anything.
I didn't do Black Friday shopping, nor did I go out shopping Saturday or today. I think I'm going to give the online shopping thing a whirl just for fun. I haven't even started shopping and don't have a clue what to get anyone. :( Guess I better get working on that!
Liz
these are lovely!!!!!
Those are just gorgeous! LoVe!
No I didn't venture out. There's nothing that I want that badly to brave all the craziness on that day!
Amazing and lovely idea!!! Love the music paper! Thanks so much for sharing!
Happy week !

I see a wooden spool and think "what a neat wooden spool." You see a wooden spool and think "this will make a cool necklace." Sigh!
Betsy, those are adorable! I did not even know glitter mod podge exhisted...I have got to try it!!
Carol
Betsey these are so adorable! I do like the glitter and might have to try that glitter mod podge on something. do you ever have to unwind thread from the spools to make these and if so, do you do anything with the thread?
4 rooms down and 6 more to go to have Christmas done here-
bee blessed

These are FABULOUS! Beautifully done. And the possiblities are endless. Oh how I love repurposing things!
I missed this post and these are so pretty. I have a pile and I'm not talented enough for jewelry but might just try my hand at a few as ornaments. Of couse, that implies I am going to stop procrastinating and get the tree out!
