Great Christmas ornaments. Just add a loop!

Glad to be of help! Enjoy.

I don't think they are sellable, they are just skinny scrapp strips.

I like this idea, plus you could do that for any holiday, just use the appropriate scraps.

Great idea!

My brother takes his tiny scraps or ends and puts them all into old Ball jars with vintage lids. I got one as a gift from the scraps he used to make my scrappy quilt.

Not only do I have the quilt he made with my scrap fabric from various projects, but I also have the scraps in a vintage jar to remind me of the love that went into his gift.
