About

These little bobbin books are so simple to make yet cost nothing! You could make on in every colour of the rainbow and display them on a nearby windowsill. Or even make a whole collection of them for a friend's birthday.....though to be honest I'd rather keep them for myself!

You Will Need (8 things)

  • Scissors
  • Bobbin - wooden bobbins are best
  • Cardstock Or Fancy Paper
  • Fabric Glue
  • A3 Paper
  • Ruler
  • Sellotape
  • Ribbon

Steps (2 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, measure the width of the spool (the inside section where the thread was).

    Mark the width onto the paper and cut straight down the bottom so that you should have a long strip.

  2. 2

    Make sure that the strip fits around the paper and sellotape one end to the bobbin.

    Carefully wrap it around and secure with ribbon and ta da! Now have a quick cup of tea and make another for a friend!
