Another thing you could do with them is take water soluble stabilizer and place your tiny scraps and colorful thread pieces on and sew over them and make scarves, flowers, etc. You would have to sew them down good.

Here are three links. On the second link you need to scroll down a bit. First one is thread only, second is yarn and fabrics and the third is tiny fabric scraps and thread. They are all pretty.

See if your nearest Association for the Blind can use them for stuffing the soft toys they make.
