Hello, I’m Heather from The Sewing Loft and I am super excited to share with you an easy summer craft that will clean out your scrap basket!

My girls love to exchange snail mail with friends and family! And truth be told, I’m not sure which they are more excited about- the card or the note. But either way, this simple postcard craft is perfect.


Materials:

  • empty cereal boxes
  • fabric scraps
  • Mod Podge
Tools:
  • foam brush
  • paper plate to hold glue
  • plastic table cloth for mess protection
*Tip- Mail is pretty restrictive on size so, be sure when making this project you keep within the maximum size measurements of 4 1/4″ x 6″ by 1/4″ thick for a standard postcard.

Basic Instructions:

  1. Pull out your scrap basket and separate all those really small bits from the larger pieces. We will only need the small stuff for this project!Fabric Postcards
  2. Next, place a table protector down. Think plastic table cloth or large scrap of cardboard.Fabric postcard
  3. Paint some Mod Podge on the printed side of cardboard and place fabric scraps as desired. Have fun here, overlapping to create a fun mini quilt outlook. Once all scraps are in place, add another layer of glue. You are now officially decoupaging with fabric. Super simple. fabric post card how to
  4. Allow glue to dry, cut away any over hanging fabric bits and packaged them together with a long thin scrap of fabric. Or address them right away and send them out into the real world.Fabric Postcard

My girls could not wait to send them out. We have post cards making there way to several states and continents. Hoping for some fun mail in return!

Wishing you a fun filled and creative summer!

  2. Hey are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and
    set up my own. Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own
    blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

  3. It_s laborious to find educated folks on this subject, but you sound like you already know what you_re speaking about!
    Thanks

  4. I’ve learned many important things via your post. I would also like to convey that there may be a situation where you will have a loan and do not need a cosigner such as a National Student Support Loan. However, if you are getting a loan through a conventional finance company then you need to be able to have a co-signer ready to assist you. The lenders will base their own decision using a few factors but the main one will be your credit ratings. There are some creditors that will furthermore look at your work history and come to a decision based on that but in most cases it will be based on on your ranking.

  5. Kids? I think this would be fun for me? What a fun craft! And a great way to use those fabric scraps I picked up at the thrift store!

    Wishing you An Extraordinary Day!

  6. As I have just moved to a region which has a very small option for recycling, and I don’t like to see anything go to waste, this is just a very cute idea for upcycling! Thank you so much for sharing.
