Book marks are great to give to that bookworm in your life. The Crafty Mummy shows how you can make a fabric scrap bookmark visit thecraftymummy.com/2012/10/fabric-scrap-bookmarks/
You could do the long traditional bookmarks or the corner page ones.
3. Heating pads / hand warmers
You can sew some scrap fabrics together and then fill it with …
… rice and sew it up. This can work as both a heating pad or a cooling pad too. You can even use socks! Learn to make rice hand warmers!
4. Lanyards
Use scraps of fabric to make keychain lanyards. These are popular to have for those who have to wear name tags. See how to make one from Tally’s Treasury at tallystreasury.com/2014/08/diy-fabric-lanyards/
5. Quilts
Yes! You can use that scrap fabric remnants to make a quilt with. See my first quilt! After all a quilt is patch work of sewed fabrics together (to sum it up). I plan to try to make more quilts and share those here too.
6. Patching
Scrap fabric can also be used to patch clothing or other items. You can patch those holes in jeans!
I keep my scraps in tote and I used my Cricut and put Fabric Remnants on the side of it. See image below.
