Scrap Gifts with a Bonus
Another great homemade gift that can be made from scraps are simple zipper pouches. These can be made in a variety of sizes and shapes. Make them extra special by filling them with candy, notions, toys or other personal items. I once made a bunch of mini ones for the young women at my church. They included a keyring on the zipper and a pocket to hold their drivers license. They were a great hit.
Fabric coasters are another way to use fabric scraps while gift giving. I recently created this fabric coaster tutorial using the AccuQuilt Go and leftovers from my Over the Rainbow quilt. Found in my Crumb Quilts book. These would be great with a mug or bottle of your gift recipient’s favorite drink.
Warm hearts and hands with these quick and easy handwarmers.
Another quick scrappy gift to make would be a bookmark. Combining the bookmark with a book makes the homemade gift even more special.
