My Mini Spools Dolls were created by me because I hated throwing the wooden spools in the garbage. There is enough in the landfills, and I felt they had the potential for something cute and useful. I noticed nowadays, they use foam spools for thread, and foam isn’t recyclable. The materials I used are the wooden spools, large wooden beads for the heads, pipe cleaners, satin ribbon, pearls, glue, faux flowers, mini straw hat, and veil for a bride. Plus, I’ve been thinking about what else to use wooden spools for recycling.
The doll on the left: “Senorita” the doll is made from a small wooden spool, her head is made of wood, her arms are a pipe cleaner covered with ribbon, the spool is covered with satin ribbon. Her dress is made of lace, with a knot at the neck. There is a straw hat with a flower on her head. Her facial features and hair are applied with a permanent marker. She is 2 3/4″ tall.

Her wedding dress is made of lace, with fake pearls around the neck; she wears a bouquet with a wide satin ribbon with lace. Her veil on her head is net with fake pearl trim.
