SPOOKY SPOOLS

I JUST HAD TO HAVE A FEW BAGGIES OF OLD THREAD SPOOLS.  THEN THEY SAT, FOR A YEAR.  I DID PUT THEM IN AN OLD BLUE JAR FOR DISPLAY. 

BUT NOW...I HAVE A GREAT PROJECT FOR THOSE CUTE LITTLE VINTAGE SPOOLS!

*SPOOKY SPOOLS*

...OUT OF THE OCTOBER 2011 SCRAPBOOKS ETC. MAGAZINE.

START BY WINDING EMBROIDERY FLOSS AROUND THE SPOOL.  I DID THIS ON THE MINI SPOOLS. BUT WHEN ADDING FACES, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO WORK ON THE LARGER ONES.

FOR MUMMIES, WITH GOOGLIE EYES, YOU CAN ADD THE EYES BEFORE OR AFTER.  I TRIED BOTH WAY & THEY WERE EQUALLY AS SUCCESSFUL.

I TRIED A MUMMY WITH GAUZE TOO, ADDING THE EYES LAST.  WHICH STYLE DO YOU LIKE BETTER? 

I DID SEVERAL OTHER FIGURINES:



FRANKENSTEIN



JACK-O-LANTERN

SPIDER= MY ORIGINAL CREATION

LINKING UP TO BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH & MOD VINTAGE LIFE.
