Recently a TQS member wrote to us saying that she is drowning in 1" strips of scrap fabric. As luck would have it, we have found a number of creative ideas that will help to downsize the strip stash, while at the same time adding a bit of creative color to her world.

1. Create stunning baskets, bowls and tote bags using strips of fabric, clothesline, glue and your imagination. Alex and Ricky share tips and ideas in Show 613.

2. Need a pop of color in your surroundings? Emily and Jamie at Everyday Art show you how to make a rag rug using all of colorful scraps. 

3. Got a pair of summer sandals that need a bit of an update? At Mod Podge Rocks you can learn how to update to a "new" pair of sandals and no one will be the wiser.

4. Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy shows you how to take your lamp from sad to super fun with just a bits of fabric.

Now, if you have some fabric left after all of that crafting, why not make some super cool fabric beads from J&O Fabrics or thumb tacks from How About Orange? Happy scrap crafting!
