My sister uses one inch strips and 1 1/2 inch strips to make "inside snowballs." She uses any length and just wraps them around each other, like a ball of string. She makes them snowball size and takes them to Christmas parties in a laundry basket. Folks grab them and throw them at each other. It is lots of fun. They don't hurt, don't knock things over, don't melt, and you can throw them inside where it isn't cold.
She took some to our guild's Christmas potluck last year and the members loved them. Now many make their own out of scraps or they bring their scraps to her and she makes more snowballs. (There is always someone who wants some.) I give her the scraps after I square a quilt, and many other quilters do do.
If I had one, or if I hadn't just given her my scraps, I would take a picture. But you can probably visualize it. You can wind them loosely or tightly...I prefer loosely. They stick to each other, or if they come unwound a bit, it is easy to just wind back up.
