our little sewing crew combines all the crumbs and batting pieces and puts them in pillowcases. Batting might need to be chopped up some so it doesn't bunch. Sew the end shut and make a case with flannel or fleece so it washes. Our animal shelter likes them- don't overstuff...our local vet also uses them for after surgeries, she likes them as well, and washes them, they last for a bit- always willing to take more!
