They Can Also Spruce Up Your Decor, Be Sachets, and More!

These luscious strawberries almost look good enough to eat! Instead use them as pincushions, sachets, pattern weights, or even to spruce up your decor.

Display several in a bowl or basket for a bright accent. Or fill them with crushed walnut shells, fine steel wool, or plastic pellets along with some polyfill for pincushions.

Make lovely sachets by filling them with dried lavender. Rice, dried beans, glass beads or marbles, pebbles, and more will turn them into pattern weights.

Regardless of how you choose to use them, keep in mind that these strawberries will also make lovely gifts. And they’re a great use for your red and green scraps.

We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
