2. Fabric Wall Hangings

Fabric wall hangings are some of the coolest things to do with leftover fabrics. Unleash your inner artist and create a fabric wall hanging to add color and texture to your walls.

Cut your fabric scraps into strips or shapes, and arrange them in a design that suits your aesthetic. You can sew or glue them onto a canvas or larger fabric.

Whether you sew or use glue, creating wall hangings with scrap fabric is a fun way to decorate your space. 

3. Fabric Banners for Parties

Fabric scraps make excellent material for creating banners for birthdays and other eco-friendly house parties. Making banners is one of the coolest things to do with fabric scraps without sewing.

All you need to do is cut out letters from your fabric scraps and use a hole puncher to string them together, forming words and messages. You can also create pennant banners by cutting your fabric scraps into triangles and attaching them to a string.

Instead of spending on disposable party decorations, upcycle fabric scraps into banners to add a festive touch to your house parties. Here's a great tutorial for creating letter fabric banners. 

4. Use Fabric Scraps as Reusable Napkins

You can make reusable cloth napkins from fabric scraps. They're washable, reusable, and environmentally friendly! Plus, if they're made from absorbent material like cotton, they clean up spills pretty well. So, instead of using paper towels or disposable makeup wipes, use scraps of fabric that you can reuse without having to buy replacement almost every weekend.

Keep a stash of leftover fabric in your kitchen, dresser, or anywhere else where quick cleanups are often needed — an effortless way to recycle scrap fabric.

5. DIY Patchwork Quilt

Consider combining your tiny fabric scraps to create a large patchwork quilt.

It's a labor of love that not only helps you get rid of your tiny fabric scraps but also results in a beautiful, cozy quilt that you can use year-round.

The variety of colors and patterns from your fabric trimmings will give your quilt a unique and eclectic look.

But if a quilt seems too ambitious, start with a smaller project like a patchwork pillow cover or a table runner.
