please save the spools and hand them into any school. The kids love to build and create with them. . . .they give great joy to all ages.

The best thing would be to have the thread companies go back to wood spools. They are biodegradable. Or just reuse them in making new spools of thread. That might be difficult though.

Hey Quiltingdar - you might have a pop-up blocker.

Key Fob !!! Make a key fob or 2 or 3. Any more ideas. I've often thought of 'what to do', like every time I throw one away. Great article. Thanks.
