Use up off-cuts of fabric

Fabric remnants can be used to make lovely cards and they don’t have to be Christmas patterns or colours to look good. Make cardboard templates of your motifs, then draw around them on the wrong side of your fabric. Cut out the motifs with sharp fabric scissors and glue onto your cards — don’t use too much or it will seep through the fabric. Stick on buttons, sequins and ribbons as a finishing touch, or simply leave the card as it is. Allow the glue to dry completely before sending.
