This one is a bit floppy but still works. The greeting cards are made with heat and bond on scraps which I then cut out with rotary cutter in quilt shapes and ironed onto the card stock.

More ideas are to use dryer sheets for foundations for scrappy work. Some folks have mentioned on here that folks with allergies might not be able to have these so keep that in mind. I like to use fabric that is really too flimsy for anything else and use it as foundation. Then I don't have to rip it off like paper. If you have lots of birds in your area, besure and put out the leftover strings and tiny trimmings for them to use in nests. I have never lived where this was feasible but sounds so neat to be able to find a nest at the end of a season that would have threads etc. incorporated into it. Several have mentioned that the trimmings can be used for pet beds too if you can find someone who could use them.

These are just some of the ideas for what I do to use up scraps. I think there is always someone who can probably use what you don't want so offer it for the postage and I am sure lots of new projects and friends will be made. Please feel free to add on your pictures and ideas. The End. :-)
