why cut them up at all? why not wear them as scarves ...long, wrap-around-the-neck ones, loose on-the-hips ones, tied around-the-hair ones, summertime wrap-around-the-bathing-suit-ones, through-the-belt-loop jeans ones, wear them like pareos, etc. i know you'll think of others.
you can even wrap yourself up like a present and make your guy very happy.
