There isn’t enough to make a whole new project, but the pattern or color is just too pretty to toss. That’s why we’ve gathered together some amazing projects that will help you use up those pesky scraps you can’t find any other place for. Throwing away scraps is like throwing away money. If you have extra bits of fabric lying around your craft room, turn it into beautiful decor instead of putting it out with the trash.
