Wooden Spool Hidden Message

Here's another little Mother's Day idea...

Wooden spool messages!

My mom has always been crafty, usually with a sewing machine.  So I thought she'd appreciate this little handmade message.

The letters are stamped onto the fabric. 

I couldn't resist making a tiny one also.

I loved this idea when I first saw it on Greenbean's Crafterole.

Then I did alittle looking around for other wooden spool crafts.

Here is some of what I found:

Mother's Day Notepad

The ladybug caught the crafting bug a long time ago.  When she sees me getting supplies out she asks, "Are we gonna do a craft?"  So it's no surprise that she enjoyed designing these notepads for her Nana and Grandma for Mother's Day.  

Here's what we did...

 

First I folded a plain white sheet of printer paper into fourths.

At the bottom of each of the four sections the ladybug drew a picture or wrote a message.  Since our printer is also a copier, I copied the original onto colored printer paper.  I printed about 25 sheets (which will make 100 sheets in one notepad). 

Then I used a paper cutter to cut the printed sheets into fourths.

Then punch two holes in the top of the sheets.  

Thread a pretty ribbon through the back and tie in it the front.

The ladybug liked seeing her work turn into little notepads.  

They make sweet and unique gifts, too!
