When I’m crafting with my daycare kids, I enjoy to repurpose supplies from about the residence and the recycle bin. It keeps crafting expenses down, encourages us to be resourceful and creative, and it offers a second life to things that would commonly finish up in landfill.
See all of our Christmas “TREE” Ornaments right here.
Fabric scraps and cardboard are a two of my favourite supplies to repurpose, so I generally have a significant stash of each in the craft cupboard. They come in particularly handy for creating Christmas ornaments.
Today’s Fabric Scrap Christmas Tree ornaments had been ideal for working with up small bits of fabric leftover from some of my larger sewing projects.
Crafting with fabric is such a delight for youngsters. They enjoy rifling by means of our scrap bin, examining all the distinctive colours, textures and patterns. They get a kick out of obtaining fabrics they’ve made use of in other projects as well. Not only is fabric a treat for their eyes and their sense of touch, functioning with smaller pieces, like we are for this project, is fantastic for fine-motor abilities.
