DIY No Sew Thread Cone Gnomes
I buy sewing machine thread in the colors I use most often in bulk by the serger cone. I use stand alone bobbin winder like this one to wind the cone thread onto an empty regular size thread spool to use on my sewing machine. (Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience.) This is supposed to keep me from running out of thread but when my historical costuming projects usually take up to 10 yards of fabric I still go through a ton of sewing thread.
Which means I have a nice little stack of empty thread cones on my To Upcycle shelf waiting for a craft project that never comes.
Until today!
I recycled empty thread cones into cute little gnomes. If you don’t have empty thread or serger cones cluttering up your house waiting to be upcycled you can use paper craft cones like these.
You will need for each gnome you want to make:

How to Make Christmas Stocking Holders
Last Christmas I found the head of one of our Christmas stocking holders snapped off. I tried to repair it but it didn’t hold. The reindeer’s head careened to the side and stayed that way all season long.
Because there is nothing that says love and joy that a severed head on your Christmas mantle.
I poked around for a replacement. Most were already picked over and what I saw didn’t really appeal.
The only choice is to DIY a Christmas Stocking holder myself.

How to Make a Wine Advent Calendar
I like the concept of wine and beer Advent calendars for adults but the contents inside is often lower shelf booze - meh. Not to mention, the good wine and novelty Advent calendars sell out almost immediately when they are put on the store shelf.
What to do? What to do?
Make a quick and easy gnome Advent calendar using a Christmas tree!
