Velvet Square

do you have any ideas for these fabric scraps?

i have several small squares of velvet fabric about 5 by 5 inches. the colors are rather dark and dont seem to go well together. the colors are : black, dark royal purple, and grey. the fabric isnt very thick but it is pretty and i would like to do something with it, any ideas?

I love scraps! Some ideas (many of these can be found on craftster.org):

-Cut them into small squares. Thread a needle with something strong (like dental floss) and thread alllll the squares, like they’re beads. Make a bracelet.

-Make into small pins for people for Christmas.

-Make a purse, using the fabrics you have and some other fabric that “unites” them (like a print with all the colors in it).

-Use the fabric in applique on jeans, a coat, etc.

-Make creatures! I make and sell these (search “Alphacreatures” on craftster.org).

-Use them to cover things like tin cans, folders and pens to make a desk set. (Ideal if the fabric is too thin to hold up when used in clothing.)

-Stitch them (and possibly another fabric, again, to “unite” them) end-to-end to make a scarf.

-Use in crazy quilting.

-Use single pieces folded up and stitched down to make cuff bracelets. Fasten with velcro or snaps.

-Cover buttons with it; dress up a coat or shirt.

-Make a pillow or two.

-Make small drawstring bags and use them to package Christmas gifts, or to store precious things (i.e., jewelry).

-Send them to me! (Kidding.)

Good luck, whatever you choose!
