For our quilt show we usually give away small fabric items as favors when people enter. In the past we have made needle cases, finger pin cushions from bottle tops and fridge magnets. Does anyone have an idea for a new item that is very inexpensive, uses scraps or ribbons and is easy to make about 600 of them. Thanks for any input.

How about a fancy credit card wallet? (being as most of us use credit cards to shop) It's about 3x3 and has a flap that folds over and buttons. You can also keep coins in it too.

A little personal pack tissue cover? I hate the crinkly plastic sleeve they come in, hard to be really quiet. You can have a display of some with the tissues already inside, but hand them out empty to keep the expense down.

Wow! That's a lot of work making items. Our guild members donate fat quarters (or yardage to be cut into fat quarters) to give away as favors.
