You could make a Chaos quilt out of them.

I don't think your crazy, I wish I had those for myself. I am working on a quilt made entirely of the little bits of fabric that you use to sew onto & off of when doing pieceing. I don't throw anything away!!! I also have another with snippets I put under tulle then quilted to make blocks. You would be surprised what you can make a quilt block out of,...and I also keep many clear jars around with bits of fabric THEY LOOK PRETTY.

You can sandwich them between two sheets of water disolvable stabiliser and free motion quilt using all your fancy threads, then wash most of the stabiliser out and drape it it over a fancy dish to dry and create something totally unique :wink: :D

If there is not any stitching on them, you can throw some in an old craft blender with water and pulse them into a pulp. 1/4 cup snippets and fill the blender up 2/3 full of water. Find cookie cutters with the tops open, lay them on paper towels and smash the pulp into them. When the cookie cutter is full and the pulp smashed down well, push a sponge down on it and then squeeze the water out of it, repeat until you get most all of the water out. Carefully remove it from the cookie cutter and let air dry. I made these and poked holes into the tops of them when they were dry and glued ribbon into them and they were cute hanging off of bookmarks. I used small cookie cutters for them, larger ones kids can make, decorate and have Christmas ornaments. You could also string them together for a garland. This works for making "fabric" paper too. Blue jean fabric works even better for this, just have to cut it as small as these snippets first.
