Christmas ornament
 
I came home from a week in Ohio and sneezed all night. Decided that yes, I really did need to vacuum, so I started picking up the floors. I picked up a handful of small scraps that really are too small for FPP, and decided to challenge myself to come up with a way to use them anyway. (Can you tell I really hate to vacuum?) Anyway, I didn't kill as much time as I had hoped to, because I used them within 5 minutes. I was repacking the plastic storage box where I keep the supplies for Christmas ornaments (I wanted hand work to do in the car for four days of driving and settled on Christmas ornaments and left the whole mess till I got back) and I found a clear plastic ball with a hanger. (I had bought them last summer thinking to put beach sand and small shells in them to send up north.) You wouldn't believe how pretty it looks with all my fabric scraps in it. I think I'll make an ornament of scraps for each quilt I do, and give away the ornament with the quilt.
 
 
-that is are really cute idea (I wish I had thought of it first BG) I have clear glass ornaments that have that multicolored sparkly easter grass inside, And the do look pretty, but your idea is a keeper. -You can also glue bits of fabric on the outside of the bulbs, then decorate with Tulip Paint in Crazy Quilt Stitch fashion. These are really cute. Like you idea too...so fast and quick.
