Fabric Scrap Necklaces and Headbands

http://littlethingsbeautiful.com/2011/08/fabric-scrap-necklaces-and-headbands/ I have a never ending stack of scraps of fabric that I can’t seem to find any use for, but I don’t ever want to get rid off. I always think I’ll figure something to do with them and YEARS have gone by and the stack lays there, growing rapidly but never touched. Finally, for the first time I was so happy to find something to do with them after seeing someone wearing one of these!!! I made braided necklaces and headbands.

DIY Lanvin-inspired Pearl and ribbon necklace

Supplies- Satin Ribbon-I used two different sizes but you don't have to.

bows are fairly simple to make but I like to cut corners and save time any chance I get...who doesn't right? well here is a way to repurpose an old tie and make two new bows with very minimal sewing. I suppose you could do it a no sew way with just fabric glue but I have a hard time waiting for glue to dry.
