    Now this is very different and a great idea for those who make purses or wall hangings...its slashing...with scraps. http://video.search.yahoo.com/search...eb&b=22&tnr=21

    locker hooked rugs, wrapped clothline baskets & rugs, appliques, my granddaughter's make 'treasure boxes' -- they use small scraps to decoupage all over paper file boxes- they turn out great and the girls have a blast making them-
    post cards, all kinds of things

    christmas ornaments, fabric bowls with the clothes line,
    pot holders, bottle cap coasters, postage stamp quilts,
    and just anything I can think of to use up my scrap.
