Spool Pendant Tutorail

Spools are all over our house.  Some of them are slated to be reused as spools for homespun thread but when this challenge came up we decided to try something new.
It took weeks of thinking and brainstorming but we came up with a pendant using the design already in the spool.
We started by cutting off the end with a hack saw.
Then we painted it with a bronzing finish and added a copper insert on the edge.
For color we added green pearls and red and dark blue glass beads.
Then we pounded some copper into a bracket and punched holes in it and inserted a copper axle so the pendent could spin.







Last we just added a simple chain.
