As a child, I loved to sit with my grandmother and make arrangements with these little flaps. Sometimes together with my cousins, we made quilts and pillows. I also used to adorn dresses, slippers and hair clips! Above many ideas &nbsp;to kill your time with creativity.


&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH FLAPS?


If you can sew a little bit and have some time on your hands, even in front of the TV, you can do a lot of custom crafts. Just to illustrate, you can pick up a simple shirt or a purse, customize it with flowers made with flaps and resell at higher value. You can also make other products with flaps, such as necklaces,&nbsp;key-chains&nbsp; pins and many other items besides quilts and pillows. Many women here in Brazil make money&nbsp;customizing&nbsp;key-chains&nbsp;and souvenirs for baby showers,etc.&nbsp;Here some examples of this work with flaps:
