Sometimes there’s just a little scrap of your favorite fabrics left and you would hate to part with them. I understand. Throwing them away doesn’t always seem like an option!
Take a look at a few ideas I found for those scraps…let’s decorate with them!
Apartment Therapy featured this beautiful wall display of embroidery hoops. Think about just how easy this would be to duplicate in your home using your favorite fabrics. Sometime you can find these embroidery hoops at garage sales for super cheap. Buy them all and you can decorate a wall in minutes!
Lindamade has a tutorial for this colorful scrap wreath. It hangs on her studio wall. After seeing this I might never throw away a scrap of fabric again!
Bella Dia made stunning fabric panels out of her fabric collection. I love the different sizes. You might want to stop over there and see more photos of her studio.
If you haven’t seen the fabric scrap baskets in the post on fabric storage…check it out. They’re really cute!
I know some people are talented enough to make quilts…that takes a ton of scraps. One day I’ll have to try that.
What do you do with fabric scraps? Have you seen some cute ideas…leave a link!

Well, I just learned they are called “swatch portraits” and I’ve been making them for years! Never knew they had a title. I just recently decided to sell some since I cannot throw away fabric!

The link for the second photo actually goes to the same place as the first photo. I really like the wreath though!
i have been wanting to make some of the fabric hoops to hang on the wall. I saw it in Country Living and fell in love!
Thanks for fixing the link! I love that wreath!
Love these ideas!!
I LOVE the embroidery hoops idea! I just saw that in Southern Living using white and cream fabrics to make a snowflake design on a wall. Too cute!
Thanks for this blog post! I found you by blogsearching fabric scraps, because I have a TON!!
Love the wreath…I have TONS of scraps and never throw anything away. Love these ideas!
I actually use most of my smaller scraps for stuffing. That, or I let my 4yo have fun with them. She likes to tape them onto cards, or just cut them up (which makes them better for stuffing). Either way is fun and still useful!
