I created these little spools out of chipboard and cardstock, using my Silhouette cutting machine and its software

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Glue
  • Cardstock
  • Chip Board
  • Cutting Mat
  • Silhouette Studio
  • Silouette Cutting Machine

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Create a new document in Silhouette Studio and use your shape tools to create your spool components. I used the circle, polygon and square for the tops and bottoms (about 1.5″ wide), and smaller circles (10 per spool) for the middles

  2. 2

    Cut the shapes you created using Chipboard (remember to adjust your blade and cut settings)

  3. 3

    To add a bit of decoration and color, I cut smaller versions (using the internal offset tool) of the tops and bottoms (from Step 1) in pastel colored cardstock
