Spool Invitation |
|
Nik be nimble, Nik be quick, I've got a thimble, time for an invitation trick!
When thinking about invitations for a sewing-related party, I realize that although
I have never been to a quilting bee, nor have I sat down for an afternoon of embroidery or sewing, I sure love spools of thread. What could be better for a sewing party than a spool of thread invitation?
Supplies:
- spools of thread (in any colour you fancy)
- construction paper (again, any colour)
- patterned paper (perhaps a quilt pattern)
Method:
Attach a long piece of construction paper to one of your spools.
Print the details onto a nice piece of patterned paper, either by hand or with a laser printer.
Roll the construction paper up around the spool as if it were the thread.
Attach a ribbon to the end of the construction paper, creating a little bow.
I love doing handcrafted invitations like this, because when friends receive them, they always think they are so charming.
