An Easy DIY For A Crochet Spool Holder
I love to add old cones of yarn, crochet spools, and vintage sewing supplies to vignettes. These items add great texture, a unique history, and beautiful shapes and colors. One way to display spools crochet thread is in a dough bowl, a basket, a cloche or an apothecary jar. Another way is to make your own display piece with an easy DIY for a crochet spool holder.

Making The Spools Vintage For Your Spool Holder
Since I will be using this crochet spool holder in a vignette I wanted to make them look old. From the thrift store these spools were just too white!
Using this brush and a dark brown ink pad rub ink on the spool in the direction of the thread.
After inking you can tell the difference in color. It makes these bright white new crochet thread spool look very vintage. I love how they turned out!
The Finished Crochet Spool Holders
These spool holders will be perfect in any vintage vignette. They will also be adorable to use in an office space or gift wrapping station. The spool holders would be perfect for a craft space too.
