There's something so satisfying about turning fabr There's something so satisfying about turning fabric scraps into beautiful little gift tags! ✨

In today's reel, I'm making my free Threaded Tokens pattern and showing the cutting and sewing process.

For this version, I used the new SOHMO decorative scissors to create modern scalloped and zigzag edges. They add such a lovely finish and instantly elevate the look of these quick little makes.

✂️ Scallop 5mm
✂️ Scallop 10mm
✂️ Zigzag 5mm

I can't decide which edge is my favourite!

These threaded tokens are quick to sew, perfect for using up scraps, and make thoughtful handmade gift tags for friends.
