Recycled Spool Stamps

Not only do these little spool trees look cool, They are actually stamps! I cant wait to see your version in the flickr group!

Supplies: Spools, Stuffing, Fabric, Foam

Tools: Scissors, Sandpaper, Sewing Machine, Glue, Sharpie

1. Sandpaper your spool so that it's not so smooth. Draw your woodgrain, Everyone draws woodgrain differently, but here's how I do it--

Start by drawing some swirly circles

Start drawing lines around you circles going from top to bottom.

Keep drawing lines to fill in your woodgrain.

2. Cut 2 circles out of your fabric, about 1 inch bigger than your spool. Sew all the way around your circle.

3. Cut an X in the middle of the bottom layer and flip inside out.

4. Stuff it by going through the X.

5. Glue to the top of your spool, X side down.

6. Cut out your stamp from foam and glue to the bottom of your spool.

7. Start Stamping! :)
