From necklaces to decorative mushrooms, from trees to brooches, there are many things you can create by recycling sewing thimbles. We offer you 5 creative ideas that will surely win you over, simple and original.
Necklace
Fill the thimble with threads, colored cotton wool or a piece of felt, adding decorations on the surface, for example flowers or other small elements. Make a small hole in the thimble and insert a thread or attach some side hooks and thread a chain through them.
Mushrooms
Do you like decorative mushrooms? Transform old thimbles in just a few steps: fill them with fake moss and glue 1 or 2 decorative mushrooms on top, flanking them with houses and small animals. You can glue everything together with hot glue.
Saplings
The trees are perfect for the Christmas period: just insert them into the thimbles (which will look like small vases) and add a small star and a piece of string to the top. All the different elements must be glued with hot glue.
Flower
If you like flowers, here’s the DIY idea that’s right for you. Get some pipe cleaners and shape them to simulate the stems, recover some plastic leaves and glue the thimbles on the central part. They will look like delicious little bells.
Pin
But how cute is this brooch made with a simple thimble and two decorative mushrooms? You can actually replace the mushrooms with many other miniature elements, depending on your tastes. To attach the thimble to clothing you can attach a small safety pin to the back with hot glue.
