Does anyone have a soloution as to a way of recycling old cutting mats? I am getting ready to throw out about 4 or 5 of them. Can I make anything else out of them?

I use them for the bottom of totes and purses!
|
What a good question!
|
Have you used both sides ? If so they make great bottoms in purses and totes.

What a great idea, using them to stiffen bags!
If there are still smallish areas that are good, cut them into small mats - those are great for when you're squaring up blocks - you can rotate the mat, block and template all at once to make trimming the other two sides of the block easier. |
find yourself an old lazy susan and cut you a rotating mat.

That is what my husband did for me. Works great!! |
Great ideas above. I cut up one of my older ones to make small mats that I can keep right next to my machine for paper piecing (trimming).

Use them to make templates. Especially templates that you are more apt to use over and over again.
