Think Crafts Blog - Craft Ideas and Projects - CreateForLess

Every Friday we will post a giveaway on Think Crafts. All you have to do is comment on Friday’s blog post answering the question of the week! New prizes every week!

Last week our prize was the  ”Designing with Fabric: Imaginative Ways to Incorporate Fabric into Your Scrapbooking & Paper Arts Projects” by Autumn Leaves. Design books are a great resource for ideas and inspiration. This book is a collaboration of fifteen designers and how they use fabric in their scrapbooking projects. The entire book is dedicated to showing different ideas of using fabric, ribbon, trim and buttons into your memory projects. The photos in this book are beautiful! A must-have for paper crafters.

Last week’s question: What is your favorite handmade gift idea?

The winning answer:

My favorite homemade gift is quilts made just for the person receiving them. Sometimes I make mini-quilts that are great as wallhangings, others are full size for a wrap or on a bed. Each gets a personalized tag as well. Design a simple label on the computer, reverse print it on very thin paper, then glue it upside-down on a small piece of muslin. When dry carefully rub off the paper to expose the label and seal it with a permanent fabric glue and also glue it to a corner of the quilt.
