So in order to save myself from a mountain of towering scraps which engulf me one day I decided I needed to do something with all these bits. So I came up with these easy to make bunting gifts tags which I now use as a quick way to dress up my gifts.
Now here's how you can make use of your tiny scraps too...
First cut your scraps into the shape of little bunting flags - about 1/2 inch high. Then cut a piece of 4 x 6 inch colored card stock in half to make 2 3x4 inch cards. Take a few of your flag pieces and arrange them across the top of the card.
Now you are ready to sew them in place. I used a contrasting thread dark enough to show up on the card stock and a #2 stitch on my machine to sew the bunting flags in place (your machine may be slightly different, you want to use a stitch with a little bit of space otherwise the card may tear).
Then trim the extra thread off the edges and use a micro or regular hole punch to create a hole for the ribbon to go through. Now you are ready to wrap up your gifts with your pretty new cards. How easy was that!
