Check out these cool fabric wrapped balls…what a great way to use some of those fabric scraps you’ve been stashing. Yes, I know you have a pile just like I do!
I’m always looking for new ways to use my little bits of fabric. Some of the designer fabrics are too beautiful to waste even a scrap! To make these you just need foam balls in two sizes and some glue. Pick your favorite fabric and start attaching the scraps with glue until you love it! That’s simple enough!
All you need for this neat fabric bowl is fabric, cotton cord, and simple thread. You can find the complete instructions here. Is anyone else thinking “great gift” looking at this photo? Love it!
More fabric scrap balls from Quilt It Kit. These are too cool!
I ran across this fabulous knit scarf using fabric scraps while reading Craftster.org the other day. Now I just need to figure out how to knit!
I want these braided necklaces {from cakies} for myself! I’m going to try this one real soon!
These holiday cards from craftstylish would be a perfect project for this time of year!
I’ve been thinking about making some fabric scrap gift tags and I love the way Creature Comforts did these! The possibilities are endless!

I recently made my first patchwork coasters with scraps and have a feeling I’ll be making many more scraps.
I also daydream about making a quilt of tiny scrap squares…but I think that’ll stay a daydream for a long time. 😉

Wonderful and inspiring ideas! I love to use small scraps as the backgrounds on the front of handmade cards, just use pinking shears along the edge, so simple, but cute!
Mmmm, fabric scraps are fun! Love all those ideas!
