Find some wooden spools in grandma’s sewing box, or in your local antique shop, and make these adorable Spool “banner” ornaments this year! They are perfect for the seamstress or stitcher, and will add some cutwork and colour to your tree. Each simple ornament is lovingly created with overdyed reds, greens and cream threads, gold metallic braid, using fun and easy specialty stitches and beads for extra sparkle! Line and drape them over some wooden spools to create these fun ornaments for your tree. This is another fast stitch and finish for those of you who have little time during the holidays! - Linda
