Vintage Spindles
I recently got this awesome lot of vintage wooden spindles and I thought a lot about what I could do with them. I have seen them used as bracelet holders on a dresser like this, but the ones I have are much thinner.
After envisioning a wooden base I came upon a lot of vintage wooden coasters at the thrift store. I used this chisel to scrap off all the cork,
and created these cool bases, almost exactly the same color as the spindles.
I glued the spindle onto the base and a million mosaic possibilities have opened up.
I've finally figured out what they are to be used for and I absolutely love how they are turning out. As soon as the sun shines again I will take the photos and get them in my Etsy shop. Until then, you too can try your hand at a spindle project. I have six of them ready for you right here.
