Today was the last Inkredible Stampers' Club Stamp Camp of the year. I always give out a gift at the December get together to thank all my loyal club members who show up month after month to play stampin' with me!

As most of my club people know I ALWAYS forget the little trash bins for the tables. So there we all sit working on our projects piling our scraps up in the center of the table and then we gather them up and carry them to the big trash can when the pile gets a little too much. So this year I though – "Wouldn't it be nice if I could find a little scrap bin that they could each carry flat in their club binders so we all have something to toss our scraps in at the table even when I do forget the Trash bins" – which like I said is ALWAYS! 🙂

Remember the purses I made for my Create, Ink! team members from yesterday's post? Well I was looking at the bags thinking – "If I could make a little one by one cube and some how make it lay flat when it's not being used that would be PERFECT for them"

I did some playing and tried out several ideas that I had… and come up with this prototype:

Isn't it too cute?? It twist to fold flat and you can tie the ribbon around it to hold it shut to slide it into your Club Binder or craft bag.

I didn't want to use only Real Red ribbon – SU has so many fun colors – so I made their bags all Black and White and then put different colors of ribbon in to tie them shut…

They are so cute closed up. they look like little packages.

You can purchase your own Scallop Square Bigz Die in My online store and while you're there be sure to check out all the great Big Shot Dies and Accessories on sale during the 12 Days of Holiday Sale.

Happy Stampin'

    Debbie,
    Thanks for the nice comments! If you go to my Rag Bag tutorial here http://www.inkrediblestamping.com/inkredible_stamping_with_/2011/02/a-tutorial-for-creating-the-scallop-square-quilted-rag-bags.html you can follow those basic directions to make the scrap bin. Just make it 1 square by 1 square and sew in the ribbon on the sides the same way you would add the handle to the bag in my instructions.
