    Default Lookie what I made out of scraps and leftovers:)

    My neighbor is constantly giving me leftover material from quilts and things she makes so here are a few of the things I've made recently with them. My favorite part is how cheap it was to make these things

    I made Gracie a tree for her wall in her room (I got the ornaments in a pack at Target for $1.50 after Christmas) Total for this project $1.50


    A wreath for Ian's wall in his room (the wreath was one I had here and I ripped all of the things off of it ;D The material that the ornaments are made out of were scraps from my neighbor that she had from making her grandson things. The characters were his favs. Cars, Thomas and Buzz n Woody. Ornaments were leftovers from projects we made last year at Grace's school. I just knew they would come in handy for something) Total for this project $0


    I needed new curtians or shades for my room so I made 4 of these totally out of scraps that my neighbor gave me (that's why they are striped because there wasn't enough of each fabric to make 4 Roman shades ) Cost: $0


    Wall warmer for my room made out of her scraps (our plaster walls get very cold) Cost $0:

    We are debt free besides our house payment!!!

    Very nice work! I love the wreath and tree! Good use of fabric for the wall warmer and the roman shade!
