Old Industrial Sewing Spindle with a New Use

I found this old spindle in a second hand store for ten dollars.  I was told it was an industrial sewing spindle for holding yarn or thread.  Immediately, I knew where I could use it! 

 

Making sure the tip was removable, I asked the lady in the store if she had a roll of paper towels.  It fit, so I brought it home! 

 

An old item found a new use, and doesn't it look so much better than a store-bought paper towel holder?

 

I hope your new year has kicked off with a great start!
