Step by Step Instructions
Step 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
Step 2
Step 2: Cut the shapes you created using Chipboard (remember to adjust your blade and cut settings)
Step 3
Step 3: Glue about 10 of the small circles together
Step 4
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
Step 5
Assemble with glue. Once the glue is dried, you can add your string or ribbon
