Steampunk Spool



Steampunk Spool
Thanks so much for joining me today, I am here to share my steampunk spool I created using many of the steampunk designs from Gina’s store.  I started with the large spool covering it with graphic 45 paper, from the Steampunk line. I love this paper.  The color scheme I stayed with is black, teal & ivory.  The large clock was added after it fell off my wall & broke I claimed it as the base for my steampunk spool.
