It has been a while since I have posted a wreath, but this one I found on Samster Mommy is the perfect addition to the colorful posts so far today:
And it might be the perfect project for your scrap fabric!

One Minute Onesie
Cathy Fillian shows you how to make a cute onesie with an iron on in one minute. The perfect last minute baby shower gift. You can watch the video HERE:
And Abby at the Feathered Nest posted a tutorial a couple of months ago to make iron ons from your own fabric scraps. You can check that out HERE.
If you have a little one it would be easy to make a cute one for Valentine's Day. And honestly you could make a shirt for anyone using the same method!!

Paper Wreath
This wreath from Razzle Dazzle Crafting is make from paper strips:
It reminds me a lot of the fabric wreaths I have seen, but not being a sewer, I don't have any scrap fabric lying around. Scrapbook paper, on the other hand, is a different story!

Pretty Up Your Lids
I love this idea that I found on Mod Podge Rocks:

If you have a hobby that in any way involves paper or fabric then you know the issue with scraps...too cute to throw away...too much of a pain to keep. So I always love good ideas for using them up! These empty jars have paper (but you could use fabric too) mod podged to the lids. Now they are cute storage jars and you have less scraps!

Framed Chalkboard
This project from Beckie at Infarrantly Creative emailed me a picture of her VERY fun (especially for kids but of course I love it too because it is a chalkboard) chalkboard:

I think it turned out cute. And I L-O-V-E all the color. I think it would be really cute with scraps of fabric too! Or wrapping paper. And if you have a teenager, how fun would it be to make one with pictures from her magazines of all of her favorite celebrities.
She took an old frame she had lying around and cut up cardboard boxes (from cereal and fruit snacks and such) and let her little one glue them all over the frame. Then she put a coat of mod podge over it to seal it:

Braided Scrap Necklace
See these cute necklaces that Ruby Ellen from Cakies made:

She made them by braiding frayed strips of fabric together. How simple. And it looks so cute against a white t-shirt.

A great summer craft for any girl who knows how to braid.
Here are the instructions from her site:
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
