    I believe in not being wasteful, so I use up every bit of fabric. One of my extreme methods is rolling up those "shaved" off ends of fabric when you are straightening your fabric. I roll together, until about a 2" size ball. Makes a good TV job. Dab a bit of glue on end strip to hold. Then use them for decorations in large bowls as pictured. Am I crazy or what?

    That is a great idea. They look really pretty in the glass containers.

    That is a genius idea. SO cute too and you can tell it's the home of a quilter.Better than the rubber band balls. Thanks for sharing.

    Not crazy; frugal and creative. These are fun looking and add a lot to your home decor. Thank you for sharing this suggestion.

    I don't know where the site is, but there's a pattern to use those tiny ends. It makes a basket. There are some girls here that know the site. Hopefully they will let you know.
