I have been acquiring wooden sewing spools, and other than putting them in old jars to display, I am looking for ideas for crafting.
Any suggestions?

Yup, my mom (or one of my brothers) made me the spool knitters too, when I was an iddybiddy girl. I love to spool-knit, .,lol. Just never knew what to do with the end result, just had a LONG knitted worm in different colors. At least I can't remember what i did with them, hhhmmm, have to think real hard

i purchased a large jar full at an auction for $1.50- I used some for curtain rod holders in my sewing room. I just nailed a nail in the window facing hot glued my spool on the nail and yipee cute curtain holders for pennies.

Ooh, that's a cute idea Ann. I could use it to hang aprons and dolly dresses on in my pink room. (hmmm, gotta find more wall space  )

One time I saw a simple coat rack made from them. It was a typical L-type shelf, with the spools nailed or doweled into the side of the L that hugs the wall. If you stain them the same color as the wood shelf, that would be cool. Or paint, too!

LOL! Me too! I found a ceramic one on clearance at Hobby Lobby last year and it was a blast from the past for me, so I dug out the big spools that I had and pounded nails in them. hahaha

Well! You guys have certainly given me some great ideas! Thank-you so much! I promise I will post pictures when I started creating and decorating!
Nancy, that basket filled with all the pretties is lovely, but then you do have a way with creating nice vignettes for us all to enjoy!

oh my gosh those ones with the carvings in them are just so beautiful!!!! My great grandfather actually made a corner table out of them. He used dowels to go through the middle of them and cut holes in the wood for the shelves and it had 3 shelves and the wooden spools going in between them. It is kinda hard to explain but it was kinda neat!!! Different

ANGIE,
If you look on my site, I have a few of the spool dolls. They are really cute. I didn't make them, but they are hand made. Also if you look at my site there is a basket of stuff, there are spools in there. You can wind real colorful material around them and put them in a basket. then spray a pretty scent on them. You can also string them along with other things to make a garland.
