Thread Spools Clipart and Vintage Designs

Pin It

Good Monday Morning! Kids are home this week so I got to sleep in this morning! woohoo! :) A whole 8:30! lol. I then got up, had my cup (cups!!) of coffee and then taught Mackenzie how to make eggs. She's 9 and has a real desire to cook. She loves it. She can make an awesome steak. However, I wish she would start remembering to tell people when she talks that she cooks WITH me and not by herself. lol. When she goes to school and says "I made a steak dinner last night" I wonder if the teachers are wondering where her mother was, lol. I'm here! I'm here! :) Usually I sit there and work on my orders while supervising. Well, this morning I made a few decorated thread spools to print out and add to a project that I have in mind. I am sharing my template and then I am sharing a few fun designs that I digitally made.

Here's the template. I will show you the all black one that I made (this is the one I use for when I am using the layers and the magic wand)...

And here is my template.... 

And how about a few altered spools? They are all the same size as the templates, but I am displaying them smaller in the blog for easy viewing. If you click on the download button, it will open it in a new window. Then you will right click and choose "Save As." **Remember where you save them so you can go back later and retrieve them**.

How about a few solid colors....

Have a great night!!! Back to my orders to get done :)

Have a great night! XOXO
