I saw this idea via Pinterest (follow us) from Honey Bear Lane and immediately fell in love! They are so simple to make..they cost about $3 and they just look darling on the tree!
To make your own you will need
Cotton spools – you can get these from most craft stores or from the sewing section of Spotlight etc & just take off the thread (which is what I did)
Ribbon
White card stock
Red spray paint
Permanent pen
Glue gun
Step 1
Spray your spool/s and allow them to dry
Step 2
Measure the inside section of your spools and work out how wide you will need to cut your card stock (mine were 2.4 cms wide)
Step 3
Cut your card stock to the correct width and make it approximately 20cms (or 8 inches) long – you can trim off any excess if need be later
Adhere one end of your card stock by using a small amount of glue
Step 4
Wrap the card around to the glued section and add another small amount of glue to secure
Step 5
Write on the kids wish list (don’t ask me to explain my kids wish list…I’m not sure how I’m going to get Santa to deliver ‘Fish Eggs, and a ‘Unicorn’!!)
I also put the kids names and the year on top of the scroll too : )
Step 6
Thread a length of ribbon through the centre of the spools, tie at the top & hang on the tree : )
Aren’t they the cutest!
