When I originally started to save this was my intent, but DH had a fit when he found out I was encouraging the birds to come visit. They inundate our trees and make a horrible mess and racket, but I like to watch them.

I like the idea of the making paper as well. I suppose these could also be used in making nappy wool (I forget what they call this, but it gets wool wet with soap and water and then mat it out to make purses and such.) Anybody here do that? |
make them into a confetti quilt block.. I saw a tv quilt show that the gal used those things to create a totally cool looking quilt .. just a thought..
An afterthought.. the cofetti quilt I saw wasn't the pattern with the squares, and such. IT was all little bitty cut up scraps, looking like actual confetti. Then she ironed them all onto her applique pattern of whatever shape she wanted, using some kind of spray adhesive soemthing or rather.. The tv show was " sewing with Nancy" or something like that .. its worth a shot to check out if you think thats what you would like to do.. I will button my lip now, unwanted thoughts will stop, lol.. |
