I was making a pair of clippies today and noticed I have a lot of red felt scraps and was wonder should I make it certain size pieces or leave it the way it is. Thank you for your answers in advance. Iva

I keep all sizes of scraps of felt. Except possibly the tinyest. Sometimes I embroider on felt and sometimes I do other handsewn crafts with them. I also teach little ones in Sunday School and they do felt crafts with glue.

Felt scraps are great to use for embellishing. Needle felting is fun to do with scraps too. I save all the little pieces. (Pack rat)

Oh, man, Iva.....I wish I could part with any of my scraps of fabric....I have a mesh laundry bag bulging with scraps and I don't even know what is in it as it is too heavy for me to move to look in it......now how crazy is that......in fact my cats will curl up in it occassional....LOL
By the way, I leave the scraps as is so I can snip from them what I need........

Small piece work very well for small projects, especcially for the backs of in the hoop projects.

Think you'll find that most of us keep our scraps regardless of the size with the intentions of using them some day. Hugs, Karen

Being a quilter I have many scraps as well, but some just are not worth keeping like the very skinny cut offs that are less than 1/4 inch or less than an inch square. So I keep a bag and fill it with all the scraps then give to a friend who makes animal pillows using the scraps for stuffing. She then donates these to the local animal shelter. Nothing wasted. Hugs Lisa

I have so much fun with the scraps, I have a hard time parting with any of them! I keep felt scraps in those plastic Sterilite containers. I can stack them and they look interesting and fun that way! Teachers and Quilters are the worst horders. You never know, you may need that someday...
