How about gluing those bitty pieces and strings onto foam balls, ping pong balls, etc., for a variety of sizes and then put them into tall clear vases for decorative centerpieces for the table or to put in other nooks and crannies that need "color." Gosh, as head or the table decoration committee for a large organization, I think I know what I can do for next month. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have one of those bowls that people make with the fabric, but I don't know where the site is for the pattern. Google it and maybe it will show up.

Neat idea. Children are always looking for something to do and give to "mom" for birthdays and/or Christmas. This looks like something you could show them how to do and provide them with a container to put them in along with a ribbon around the container. I'm sure there are other things to do with them also.

Crazy but I love it.

Cute idea!

Just put a bag of scraps on the porch, didn't know what to do with them, I am going to make balls for my therapy kids to play with. I'm always frustrated that ball is too small that ball is too big... Now I can make them myself!

Only when you start juggling them, then yes you are crazy.

I use mine in snippets patterns; any tiny pieces work.
