Any craft ideas using chenille??
Our quilting storeroom at church has become home to a large amount of chenille. Do you have any ideas for simple craft items that would sell at the mission bazaar? The only thing I can think of is backing a baby blanket, but it seems like there is a reason not to use chenille for babies. If it's that they might pick at it, I'm not sure I would worry. My children survived chenille bedspreads quite well. Most of the chenille is closely cut, kind of ribbed looking, not the long, heavily textured patterns. Some yellow, some white.

I have the cutest scotty dog that a friend made me of chenille. I've not worked with it myself but I've also seen it used in pillows.
Everybody I know had a chenille bedspread growing up and we all survived
PS. This reminds me of a Bill Maher observation- "kids nowadays need a helmet to take out the trash" lol

Type in "vintage chenille pincushions" and there are some really pretty ones shown.
A friend used an old bedspread and made one of the older style teddy bears (like a Steiff) so cute! But it was jointed and too much work for a craft fair sale.

I think the way to use the most would be to purchase some cute flannel and make blankets. I'm not a fan of birthing a quilt, but in this case, it might work. When the stack is down, we can make smaller items.
