Ann on Jan 10, 2016I like the fabric strip wreath idea Elizabeth Roy posted. Also, tie strips of fabric to a string of white Christmas lights for a full and fluffy garland. You could do color themes for different seasons. Black prints for Halloween, Christmas prints or colors, autumn leaf colors...you could sell these on Etsy too!Helpful Reply

LoriKindler on Jan 10, 2016I took my daughter's baby and toddler clothes, cut them into strips and made a rug. Google "toothbrush" rug. No sew, and it will last forever. If your scraps are from old projects, you'll have quite the story to tell.Helpful Reply

Sue Peet on Jan 11, 2016What about making placemats that look like small quilts or fabric napkins. Either one of these would be make great gifts for next Christmas. I'm not sure if anyone remembers back in the 60s or 70s people were making flowers from fabric, pipe cleaners, heavy duty wire for a stem and glue. You would take pipe cleaners, that come in different colors, form each one into petals then glue to fabric. Let it sit so the glue can dry then cut around the edges.Take wire and some tape, tape each petal to the wire to form a flower.Helpful Reply
