10 Ways to Reuse Fabric Scraps


We all have them, scrap leftovers. Not to small to toss but not big enough to make much. I have been looking for new ways to repurpose my scraps and here are some of my favorites tutorials I found.

Around the world name tags

I created these (via power point) as a template for name tags for my sister's baby shower. We ended up not using them, but I wanted to share them with you all.  The graphic is letter size (8x11) and would be great to be printed on sticky labels. Enjoy!

Baby Shower Favors

The Favor display from the shower
For my sisters baby baby shower, I decided to do some chocolate favors. I bought the variety pack of those mini Ghiridelli squares and I used thank you tags I had found on a google search (source unknown). I recolored the tags in a variety of colors, cut them out, punched a hole in the top and tied them with paper string to the small stacks of chocolate.

Baby shower

So I am counting the days until my sisters baby shower this weekend. I can not wait to see her a put my little brain into action. My sister requested a travel theme and we decided on "Adventure Awaits." I took on the role of all the decor and I owe a huge thank you to Pinterest and all you crafters to give me my inspiration. Here is a few of the projects I have completed and I will post more after the shower. Cheers
Luggage to hold the favors.

Painted wood letters for over the fireplace.

Wreath for the front door. Wood wreath is from the dollar store!

Pinwheel centerpieces. We dress these up with corn and beans in the case and tied with ribbon.


Huge Polaroid as a photo booth prob!
