Use Not, Waste Not

I had these construction paper strips left over from cutting circles out for the Lego Birthday Party gift bags. 

I knew I could use them for something in the future so I saved them.  I found good use for them when I was in a jam for gift-wrapping a present and the only wrapping paper in the house was Christmas themed.  I used two as “ribbon” on a present that I wrapped with brown kraft paper.  

  

For an embellishment, I made a flower using leftover fabric from fabric I used to upholster Sun Kissed Boy #1’s headboard.

I just cut four circles in four different sizes, ranging from small to big.  Scalloping the edges would also be cute but I didn’t think of it until it was done and I was pressed for time.

Then pin thru three little brads and fold the legs back.

Put some hot glue and place on gift.

Viola!!  

I love re-using my scraps! I
