Simple-to Make Christmas Inspired Washi Tape Thread Spools

Christmas inspired washi tape thread spool decor

I have been wanting to do a new craft using my thread spools and finally I thought {why not Christmas}! I haven’t used my thread spools since I made my washi tape thread spool decoration for my Spring decor.

I was excited to pull them out and give them a Christmas makeover!

Instead of using my apothecary jars, I decided I wanted to use my mason jars. Gotta love’em!! They are my favorite thing the decorate with. I’m always incorporating them into parties, home decor and how-to crafts!

Christmas Getting Started

The best part about this craft, was that I already had all the materials I needed. I have a TON of thread spools I got from my mom and a big assortment of washi tape.

I pulled out a couple Christmas-y looking washi tapes and was ready to get started!!!

I have seen where JoAnns or Michaels sell packs of thread spools.

Step 1 – Add Your Washi Tape

I pulled a small strip of washi tape off and wrapped it around my thread spool. I know that was pretty hard right??

All my washi tape covered thread spools look amazing!

Quick Tip: Just make sure you firmly wrap the tape around each thread spool. That will ensure it doesn’t start peeling off.

Step 2 – Finishing Touches

Once I was done wrapping all my thread spools (which wasn’t hard, but it was time consuming), I was ready to display, yay!! I pulled out a few different sizes and styles of mason jars then added my thread spools.

I added a little bakers twine to my large thread spool I got for $2.00 at an antique shop.

I started getting a little creative with my thread spools. I've seen on Pinterest where they turned them into a Christmas tree.

I am LOVING the look of these in the mason jars. And during Valentine’s Day, I can add a couple pink ones to match…loving this!!

I displayed two of them in my china cabinet and one on top of my entertainment center. I will be posting a Christmas tour of my home soon and attach ALL the pictures there.
