How to make your own “vintage” spools. So easy and they make great accessories. When I decorate, I love to mix together items I have purchased with items I have made. And I really love to make the items I have made look like items I have purchased! Do you see those cute vintage wooden spools in the fall vignette below? I made those four years ago for around $6 and have used them often in my decorating over the years.
