My little bird projects are flying the coop today.  I am double booked!  Baby shower in the morning, birthday party at the new park in the afternoon. 

As I was getting ready to wrap the presents, I looked through all my paper and ribbon and had nothing that went together.  Odds and ends of mismatched paper and ribbons weren’t the look I was going for.  So, I got out my fabric.  I had left over pieces from each of the projects and I had a brown paper gift bag and brown postal paper.  OK!  Have you ever wondered what to do with those little strips of fabric left over from a project?  Use them for wrapping your gifts. 

I had a two 1 1/2 in strips of fabric left from the burp cloths, so I put them together and tied a bow.

 

I had less than 1/4 yd piece of one fabric, and only a few strips of another fabric, so I made a pom pom out of them.  I followed these directions and made it using fabric strips instead.  I also wrapped it around a wide piece of cardboard instead of my hand.  I wanted a big puffy pom pom!

 

On both of them, I just tore the strips.   I like the frayed edge look.  Plus, it was fast and easy!  Great way to use scraps!
