Ooooo Look at our Wooden Spools......How Lovely!

Really really pleased with our feature in the December issue of Homes & Gardens, they have come up with a fantastic idea with our vintage style spools and a selection of beautiful ribbons - though I have to admit not all the ribbons are ours. It's a classic style wreath with a modern twist - it looks very chic and elegant!

Nine spools, a collection of pretty ribbons including a nice wide piece for the bow and some thickish wire (thick enough to carry the weight of the spools) bent into a circle to thread the spools onto - so simple and lovely!

Very inspiring as you can change the ribbons to match each season. I think red and white would look amazing with spots, stripes, stitched and plain in velvet,satin and grosgrain ...... Ok, I don't really need to convince myself anymore... I'm definately going to have to give this one a try folks!  We currently sell our spools in sets of 3 or 5 which is perfect for making your wreath. We also sell ribbon on its own or on the spool ready to use.

 If any of you fancy having a go, I would love to see your pics!
