Halloween fabric scrap bunting banner
This project does require some basic sewing skills, but the results are worth the time. Use card stock for the fabric template, and cut around folded fabric so you have two identical pieces. Double-fold bias tape acts as a nice "string" to attach the triangles. Hang this up over a doorway or along a mantel (when the fireplace isn't in use) for a colorful addition to your Halloween decor.
Halloween fabric scrap baby bib
Little ones love bright colors, so crafting a baby bib out of leftover kid-friendly Halloween fabric is a perfect way to coax a smile. Make this as a pull-over, or add Velcro or a snap to the back of the neck. You also could double up on scraps and make the bib reversible. The best part for parents? It's washable.
