Tags in Bags

 

These tags in bags in a box (or a drawer) are really cute.  They could make a great advent calendar.  Find it here, at Loveology.

 

 

 



Use Up Your Fabric Remnants

Fabric Remnants can hang around for a long time if you can't think of what to do with them. Sometimes it seems that throwing them away would be a good choice.  Here are a few ideas I came across and thought I'd save for a rainy day - just in case I need help remembering what to do with all of my scraps.

 Drawer pulls - made with fabric scraps.   I think they are pretty cute!  From Anna Maria

--

A hand bag is another idea - patch together some pieces and then create a bag like this from Crafterholic.

--

Tipnut has a post with 50 ideas for using fabric scraps.

--

Another post from Tipnut shares 40 fabric flowers to make.

--

One idea from The Art of Homemaking shares a fabric wreath.

I have seen and created my own paper covered clothes pins, but here are some fabric covered pins - sure wouldn't take a very large piece of fabric.  Maybe we should keep some clothes pins on hand to make up some of these with the tiny scraps after our sewing projects are done.  Collect them in a pretty glass bowl or vase or bottle and give an assortment for gifts when the need arises.
These are from etsy

Decorate your gift cards like these from Art and Blog.
These could be hearts, stars, flowers, or bear shapes, or any outline shape including a simple circle. How about a men's tie for Father's Day?

Personalize a picture frame with scraps of fabric like this from Moda Bake Shop


--

Or, leave the frame as it is and decorate the inside of the back board like this from Little Big Town Designs

Coffee Filter Flowers from U-Create

Because I don't drink coffee, I don't use filters, and I don't know if this is an expensive or inexpensive thing to do, but it looks pretty.  The colors are great - if you like those colors ;) and I do.

Claim your glass or dessert cups with sweet little tags tied with slim ribbon like these from The Party Dress.  I don't do wine, but I do use stemware, so this look would work.

I imagine using this type of tag when large groups of stemware (including dessert cups) are needed and borrowed from several owners.  These little tags add color and character (even some charm) to the finished look and could be used to designate which glass should be returned to which owner (by using pre-determined colors or numbers or letters, or words, of course).

I love the idea of having 3 layer cakes - on tiers instead of stacked on top of each other.

Paint Chip Bookmarks

Look at these great paint chip bookmarks or tags - gotta love those stamps!
This look comes from Splitcoast Stampers
We have seen a similar look - Not Just a Paint Chip

Wooden Tags

I love the look of these wooden tags from Hans Creations  - an Etsy shop with the DIY look you might like to purchase instead of doing it yourself.  That's kinda what Etsy is for.  I just need a reason to purchase sometimes ... hope one comes up so I can get these ... :)

Wouldn't they be great with a saying on them for favors?  OR, Just tying one to any package would look awesome - maybe my Christmas Look this year will have to include these????  Thinking !!!

Just love the LOOK!

Odds and Ends, This and Thats

I don't use, or haven't used, numbers at tables, but I do like the look of these Framed Numbers from Between Naps on the Porch.   Maybe I'll find another reason to use a number display like this.

A fun set of frames from Green Wedding Shoes

This standing letter looks wonderful, and the idea of putting your marriage license on it is a great look for your wedding reception decor and then the home. Found on Pinterest.
