What to do with our yarn SCRAPS - Idea #1


Don't Throw away your scraps, love your scraps!

Idea #1 - Yarn Scraps Wall Art

What you will need:
*Yarn scraps in many pretty colors
*Scissors
*Hot glue
*Shadow box
I used a 12" by 12" Shadow box that looked about 1" deep

Step #1
Take your scraps, pick out the colors that you would like (Colors that will work well with your home decor) and roll them into small balls that will fit inside your shadow box.
Make enough balls to tightly fit inside your box
Step #2
Super/hot glue ends to the balls to keep them from unraveling and looking all messy.
Step #3
Have fun with the design for your "Yarn Scraps - Wall Art"- make different shapes - clump certain colors together - think rainbow - make a picture (flower, fruit, or tree)
Step #4
Hang it, or set it down in the perfect spot, stand back.....and admire with a smile
