If you’re a quilter, you’ve got scraps… It definitely feels like they multiply on their own! They tend to accumulate quickly, especially if you sew regularly.
Here are a few ideas for using up fabric scraps:
- Appliqué: Use scraps for appliqué projects to add decorative elements to clothing or home decor items.
- Scrap Buster Projects: Make small items like fabric coasters, keychains, bookmarks, or coin purses.
- Toys: Create stuffed animals, dolls, or bean bags for kids.
- Art Projects: Incorporate scraps into mixed media art or fabric collages.
- Fabric Cards: Use fabric pieces to make unique greeting cards.
- Clothing Embellishments: Add patches or decorative accents to clothing.
- Home Decor: Make items like pillow covers, table runners, or bunting.
Organizing scraps by color or size can also make them easier to use when inspiration strikes!
