Get reel! Mixed media bracelet and necklace

Take mini wooden craft spools and embroidery thread to create a special bracelet or necklace for a keen sewing friend.

“I stumbled on these wooden cotton reels on Ebay when I was looking for sewing themed dollhouse items. They are larger than twelfth scale and perfect for jewellery. To add some realism to the spools, I created end labels based on some real old cotton reels I had in my sewing box. Teamed with some little stitch-like connectors and a scissor clasp, they make the perfect gift for my sewing friend.”

All our tutorials come in a magazine style format with clear step by step instructions and photographs to accompany each step. They are fully interactive with clickable links to suppliers and product pages (links correct at time of publishing – we cannot guarantee availability of items). They include inspirational photography of the main project item as well as additional images and instructional text for additional items to make.

All our tutorials com in PDF format and you will need an Adobe PDF reader to view them. The reader can be downloaded for free at www.adobe.com
