Looking After Old Bobbins

A collection of practical videos about caring for old lace bobbins, from replacing missing spangles to renewing decorative wire and beads. These are some of the little repairs I make to my own collection, using original materials wherever possible.

Replacing Spangles

In this video, I demonstrate three different ways of attaching spangles to old lace bobbins, using their original beads and new wire. I'll show you how I thread the beads, attach the spangles and secure the wire, helping to bring these lovely old bobbins back into use.
