I do embroidery for a living and I collect all these empty thread spools (I do a lot of embroidery!!!!). The only thing is I don't know what to do with them.

I have about 100 old and new Thread spools to save for a craft project. In the old days the thread spools were all in wood, which you could easily burn in the fireplace

The Internet is full of functional and crafty reuses of vintage wooden thread spools. Let's admit, these things are cool. We certainly don't want to throw them away because they are vintage. And they don't make them anymore. Now we have plastic thread spools. But what do we do with them?
