Uses for Spools.


The number Of pretty articles that
can be made Of empty spooIs is quite
astonishing. The spools are strung on
strong brass wire that Is sufficiently
pliable to readily conform to the de-
sired shapes. Brackets, frames for
screens, picture-frames. tables, book
racks, music-holders and numerous
other articles can be made Of the spools
which are then treated to two or three
coats Of enamel. The design Of screen
will give our readers an idea of using
the spools. The frame is composed of
two long lengthwise wires bound to-
gether by crosswise ones. upon which
spools Of ordinary size has been strung.
Inside this a smaller frame is placed,
and the two are Joined by large spools,
strung on finer yet stronger wire. Pa
tience and deft fingers are required
to successfully manipulate the wire to
give the desired effect, and they must
be twisted firmly together at the points
Of intersection.
