Make your own scrap fabric baubles

[overmydeadbody]

If you dabble in sewing and are anything like me and have bags of unwanted scraps of fabric that you just can't bear to throw away, then here's a great tutorial on making beautiful baubles using all the fabric scraps. You could even use old clothes if you don't actually have fabric scraps, or scraps of pretty paper or coloured tissue paper.

Oh how sweet, thanks for posting :)

great! thank you.

How long would each one take to make do you reckon?

About 20 to 30 minutes to attach the wire and cover it in fabric scraps, then leave to dry and about 5 minutes to paint iwth the varnish. I got quicker at making them after I'd done a few, and just had them on the kitchen table and would make one whenever I was at the table helping DS with hi homework, waiting for a meal to cook, chatting with DP, having breakfast etc etc, so it didn't really eat into chunks of my time too much.
