I've taken up quilting (more on that in a future post), and it's caused me to accumulate a ton of fabric scraps. They were too small to use for quilting but too nice to simply throw out, what a waste that would be. So I decided to use them in a craft project.
We eat a lot of oatmeal in our house and the big oatmeal box seemed like the prefect container to cover with the fabric scraps. I could use it for storage...or something, right?
I broke out my bottle of Mod Podge decoupage glue and covered it from top to bottom overlapping the squares and rectangles in a 'Modrian'-ish pattern.
I like the way it came out, I'm using it for now as a vase for some dried hydrangea blooms in the kitchen.
We've already eaten enough oatmeal to furnish another box...I think I'll use that one to store future piles of scraps!
