What to do with all my little ribbon scraps?

[zoeymama]

Okay, I know this is probably weird, but I save a lot of my ribbon scraps and have a pretty big collection of 1 to 4 inch pieces in various colors, sizes, and textures. I use as much as I can, but there is still some that I cant use. What are some creative things that I can do with them? I would love to see pictures of what you do with your extra scraps.

You could probably use them on those taggie blankets if you sew.

Or save them in case you do ribbon sculptures.

If they are long enough you could make little ribbon flowers with them.

Instead of doing the figure '8' you could do a half of a figure 8 and put the needle though the ends and continue until you have that flower shape, pop on a poly clay bead, or resin and it will cover up the ends. I hope that makes sense!

This looks pretty cool too...

Oh, and I don't think it is weird you save your scraps. I save mine too. If it is an inch or more long it goes into my little bag. You never know when you might need it!

Great ideas! I didn't even think of a tag blanket! I am going to be busy tomorrow I have enough scraps to do all three things!

you could send them to me
taggie blankets are a great idea if you can sew!!

I save all mine because "I just know I will need them one day"

This is what I do with mine. A 5 inch piece of ribbon makes the whole flower. Then you need a little more to make the leaves. This one isn't on a clippie yet. IF anyone doesn't want there scraps please send them my way.
