It is fun to watch them grab them from you and go and cover themselves up with them like blankets.

Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine had an article on them last year and I know an amazing Chinese artist that does the same thing except she does elaborate you-almost-think-they-are-painted canvases that are gorgeous.<br />Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022758700056209028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-28865923027612755502015-08-04T00:51:52.362-05:002015-08-04T00:51:52.362-05:00I do a lot of applique and I use up the small piec...I do a lot of applique and I use up the small pieces making thing, like and eye or a beak for a bird.

This way you trap all the little bits between the fabric and organza - hey presto - a new piece of fabric to use!!

I've also begun making paper dolls, and have thought about using bits like this for clothing on the paper dolls (maybe by gluing them to paper first, then cutting out the clothing with tabs?) I have used bits like this in quilting crazy quilts, and for stuffing dolls. I've also made crazy quilt type totebags using Gypsy Obermillernoreply@blogger.com
