I also had several dozen of this type bobbin, and used the same wire
that I used to put spangles on Midlands bobbins. I used lots of color
combinations (red and white were traditional Danish colors!) and counted
out however many beads it took to cover the circumference. Then I
wrapped the beaded wire around the grove, twisted it a couple of times,
and ran the two ends of wire in opposite directions through the center
of the beads, which were now snugly in place. They brightened up the
bobbins - and the pillow - quite nicely!

Hello Marji and everyone
(sent to me only, I think meant for the lace list)
Your bobbins are Danish style. There was some discussion a while back about
the best way to put the beads around them. Perhaps someone can help answer
your question.

I was recently gifted some bobbins, don't know the type, but you can put
seed beads around the base. Any suggestions on the best way to do that?
(My husband says they remind him of "honey dippers."
