Mother's Day is around the corner!

Here are two great gift ideas using your fabric scraps.  If you don't have any fabric we have plenty at Austin Creative Reuse!

Braided Art

1. Choose 3 of your favorite fabric pieces and cut into 3 long strips.
2. Knot them together at one end then braid. The length of the braid will depend on what you are spelling. You can spell MOM, FAMILY, or mom’s name.
3. Place on the inside of a frame, a shadow box, or a piece of wood.
4. Use a hot glue gun to glue down when you have the right placement.

Hand Art

1. Trace child’s hand on a piece of paper and cut out.
2. Use this as a template to cut out of your favorite piece of fabric.
3. Glue to the inside of a frame or mat board.
4. Cut 2 strips of that fabric, glue to the back and tie a bow at the end and use to hang.
