🌼 1. Scrap Fabric Bookmarks
Use up small fabric scraps and ribbon bits to stitch or glue together one-of-a-kind bookmarks. Add buttons or embroidery floss for extra flair!

Try small embroidery hoops, felt shapes, or patches. They’re great for travel and beginner-friendly.
🍉 4. Collage Postcards
Use magazine clippings, patterned paper, and stickers to create fun postcards you can actually mail—or trade with friends.

Shells, driftwood, broken jewelry… summer treasures are perfect for mixed media and mini wall hangings.
