Scrap materials: Project 1 - Leopard Collar

Here are a few pictures of some scrap materials I had laying around from earlier projects or donated items: scrap leopard material and some floral cherries. Sometimes, I can look at something and just get a picture in my mind of how I want to do something. And, since I am a huge fan of "no scrap left behind", I am always finding new ways to use left over stuff.





To start: I cut out two half-circles (note to self: next time include photos of the process), cut out the center of each, pinned the ends together, set them on my neck for good measure, and sewing away! I pinned all the scraps every which way, some ruffly, etc. When finished with that, I sewed all along the outsides to help with fraying -though I do like raw edges. I then took a scrap ribbon piece, cut in half and attached, along with scrap red lace binding and black lace pieces. Lastly, I attached the cherries with a few stitches to secure.


Va-la! What do you think? I think it is pretty nifty - approximately 45 mins.





Do you have a speedy little craft.-scrap project that you are proud of? Post a link in the comments and maybe I will feature it here. Along with your blog or shop link, of course!
