More Fabric Scrap Ideas...

Not gonna lie. I'm running off of 5-hour Energy and sugar- cookies and cupcakes {ehem, diet coke} left over from the 4th. My fabric scrap craft is still undone...so, thanks to OTHER bloggers- mainly Holding Onto The Little Things today, I have some more ideas for those darling fabric scraps!

Darling ideas with lots of links....jump over HERE.

Second Feature....Fabric Scraps!

Kristy at Swamp Hollow Designs submitted this amazing fabric-infused embroidery. I, personally, LOVE embroidery {thanks to a great-grandmother of mine) and was so excited to see this!

She has a terrific step-by-step tutorial over on her site- if you have attempted embroidery...this is a great time to try!

First Feature....Fabric Scraps!

It's almost the 4th of July and around my neck of the woods, it kinda a loose tradition to go to the parades with your kiddos dressed up cutie-putootie like. I was totally stoked {yes, I still use that word-feel sorry for Courtney} to see Kaitlin's tutorial for these perfect headbands for today {and everyday, really}!

Aren't they so stinkin' cute?

 Pop over like a firecracker and see them HERE at Wunderbar.

Nikki's Niche- Fabric Scrap Desk Hutch

I started this post a bit ago...in segments. When I went to download this tutorial, mid and end segments were gone! {gasp!}

(Along with the puppy photo-shoot I did with my sister-in-law. Whoops.) So for the sake of time I'll show you what I've been up to!

I've had this desk hutch for a while and I wanted to dress it up a bit.  I started with some left-over purple paint.

I finished with the purple and added some touches of pink...why not?

(Here's where I lost my pics)  I pulled out my spray adhesive and scraps of fabric that we have every now and then on Mindy Mae's Market.

I arranged the fabric on the cork board first, to give me an idea of how it might need to lay.

The I went back with the spray adhesive, which I sprayed directly onto the back of the fabric and attached it layer by layer.

Here's the finished product. I'll be honest- I added some ricrac and fabric lace tape around the perimeter of the top portion....and ended up taking it off. It was just a little too much.

It's colorful and fun in a place that wasn't before and I'm excited to use it now!
