Sewing Projects That Cost Less Than $1
When you are trying to save money or stick to a budget, these super cheap sewing projects are a great idea! Each sewing project costs less than $1 in total materials.
Whether you are batch making to give as gifts or to sell at craft fairs, these inexpensive sewing projects are easy on the pocketbook.
DIY Jar Openers
Homemade jar openers are a great addition to any kitchen! Not only do they make opening lids much easier, you can also customize the kitchen accessory with colors and fabrics or your choosing.
Choose the one-layer method of fabric rather than the two-layer to save even more money.
Pill Bottle Opener
You can use the scraps from the jar openers to also make these pill bottle openers!
Reusable Sponges
You will be able to make 3 reusable sponges with a 1/4 yard of fabric.
To make this sewing project even less expensive, reuse mesh from onion bags, produce bags or other places where you can find woven netting for free.
Scrunchies
These scrunchies without elastic are inexpensive to make because they use hair ties, rather than buying elastic.
You can get packages of 20-30 hair ties for $1.25 at the Dollar Tree. Each scrunchie uses just a little bit of fabric and a hair tie for a cute hair accessory that costs less than $1.
Reusable Paper Towels
If you reuse old towels, these unpaper paper towels are extremely inexpensive to make!
Not only are the cheap to make, but they will also save you lots of money when you don’t buy paper towels anymore!
Cat Crinkle Toys
A fun toy for your pets, these cat crinkle toys can be made with a foil chip bag.
Bath Scrubbies
Tulle is among the least expensive materials you can buy for sewing! I’ve seen it for $1 a yard, but this project only uses 1/4 yard!
Homemade bath poufs can be made for just a few cents and are always a fun addition to gift baskets or to sell at craft fairs.
