Bon Bons


Fabric bon bons are a great little extra to make for a stitching friend .


Raid your scrap pile and cut the main fabric piece approx . 8" x 11".

Cut the centre piece approx . 3" x 8" .

Lay the narrow piece right side down , place the larger piece on top with the right side down .

Place a cardboard roll in the centre .The roll can fit all sorts of little goodies inside .

Try adding embroidery threads , buttons , needle packets even more fabric scraps rolled up .

Roll the fabric tightly around the tube and secure ends with braid , ribbon or ric rac .

These bon bons would make a fun lucky dip at your craft Christmas party or personalise

them for special friends by making them in their favourite colours and fabrics .

Darling! A friend and I are trading Christmas Stockings this year and this will be a perfect stocking stuffer. I may even wrap all of her tiny treats like that! Thanks for the inspiration.
