    I gave mine to my grandchildrens preschool and kindergarten class. I talked to the art teacher first, she loved the idea.

    I am a neat nick and don't save them. But, if I knew of a need for pet beds, let me know.

    When I lived in California, there was a lady who collected old fabric scraps and made her own "linen" paper. It was not the kind of linen paper you write letters on, but was a thicker paper for crafters to make lamp shades of all sorts and shapes, as well as other crafts, including something to do with scrapbooking. You might try to find a high school or college arts class and see if they can use the scraps.

    Oh my gosh, look what I just stumbled on moments ago.... great idea for fabric scraps

    fabric tape!

    Here is the tutorial

    even my grand kids will love this, to tape paper lunch bags shut, use as stickers and much more. Maybe you'll have even more ideas

    WRAEZ...........

    thanks so much for posting that "tape"site. I copied it and am printing it out.....won't it be cute at Christmas time to have Christmas tape on the mailing packages!

    In fact, don't we all have most of the holiday scraps laying aring in our stash.

    thanks again for posting that site..I definitely am going to go scrap-picking..in fact.......it just might be one of those things that hubby can do for me. He's got the patience of a saint.
