A couple of weeks ago my mom picked up oodles of little spools of thread at a yard sale with me in mind. I was happy to take this treasure off her hands.
There's actually no spool in the middle; it's just thread wound up into a bead shape.
Looks like a bead, so that's where my mind went, and I created this thread necklace. I love the simplicity of it and the double-take effect of seeing thread when you're expecting to see a bead.
It's my ode to sewing, handmade creations, and old-fashioned resourcefulness.
Plus, I like the idea of having some thread around so that in case of an emergency I can use it MacGyver-style to extricate myself from a dangerous situation.
I plan on adding a bit of glue to secure the ends, but I haven't had time just yet (and haven't had any problems with unraveling either).
I've got these little thread beads in several different colors, so you know I'll be making a necklace to go with every outfit.
Hey! Nice necklace. I never knew you were so crafty and then I took a quick glance through your blog archive and wow! Now I am a follower of your blog!
