Gather all your supplies....
First thing you need to do is paint your spools if you are going to paint them. Set them aside and let them dry.
Cut strips of your fabric scraps to be the same width as the inside of your spools. You can measure the spool and cut the fabric accordingly or you can eyeball it. I cut my strips to be a little over a quarter inch.
Take your fabric strip and wrap it around the spool. Allow for a little overlap and then snip off the excess fabric.
Paint a layer of decoupage medium on the inside area of your spool and also on the backside of your fabric strip.
Lay the fabric strip centered in the middle of the spool, and wrap it around the spool, smoothing it down as you go and overlapping it on the back.
Paint a layer of decoupage medium over the top of the fabric, paying extra attention to the end of the fabric making sure everything is nice and flattened. Set them aside to let them dry.
Once the spools are dry, you can string your spools on your tiny ball chain. Then they are ready to wear!
