TOADSPOOLS
so...my newest obsession is baker's twine...it comes in so many yummy colors...that it's just so hard to say no!...lol...of course...wanted a cute way to display all my choices...you know...just a sneak peak of what's behind closed drawers...and that's how the idea for toadspools grew!...
how to make 'em?...well...you'll need 1" inch x 3/4" inch wooden spools and 1" inch split wooden balls...
paint the top to match your bakers twine...make sure to get the under side too!...then plop some white dots on there...i wanted a shiny finish...so i hit it with some glossy acrylic sealer...then used a craft glue dot to attach the top and bottom together...
there you go!...easy peasy and gnome-made!...these i whipped up for my basic colors...the ones for the brights are still a work in progress!...
