Fabric scraps can easily accumulate if you are a sewer or crafter, but can also be incredibly useful to make fun projects inexpensively. My friend is currently sewing up the cutest owl pillow (see #2) and it got me thinking – how fun to be able to have fabric scraps around the house, so you can whip up a fun gift for just pennies. I rounded up some other great scrap fabric projects to use up those scraps and thought you might enjoy them too!
