Description

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

Instructions

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. 

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

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
