I just cut up small strips of paper, ran a bit of repositionable glue down the centre of the card to keep them in place, and then sewed them all down. I capped off my tree with a cute button.
It's a little lopsided but hopefully that just adds to the charm.
Do you hang onto all of your scraps? What do you do with them all? I like to make photo corners with mine if they're medium sized. I have two mason jars full of them! Leave a comment with your ideas~
That is very clever! I used to hang onto all my scraps, those that I had leftover from dresses I made for my daughter when she was little. I finally got rid of them, and the DAY AFTER, realized that I could have made her a quilt out of the scraps leftover from her favorite dresses. Needless to say, I rarely throw anything out anymore, except after watching an episode or two of Hoarders. LOL

I love this. I save ALL my paper scraps to make cards and tags. Scraps come in handy all the time and the more I use them and see what I can make with them, the less I am able to throw anything in the trash. Lovely, lovely card.
