This spool’s proportions and maple construction make it popular for storing embroidery floss, thin jewelry chains, or small diameter thread in neatly wound packages. Crafters frequently use them as centers for ornament construction, mini bobbins in sewing boxes, or anchor points in string art and beading projects. The even shape and smooth surface are great for painting with bold colors and creating decorative trims for shadow boxes or school displays. Teachers employ these spools as bases for science models or math counting aids. For a unique twist, they can be painted and magnetized to create custom fridge clips for notes and photos — utilizing both size and maple's sturdiness.
