    Depending on the weight of the fabrics, you could cut strips and slip loop them on a cord to use as a garland (spring colors, summer, 4th of July etc); use the same method to cover a wreath form; same method to create a fun valance for a window. if you find you have more fabric than you'll use, consider donating it to a pre school or Girl Scout troop to practice their hand sewing skills

    Here is some you may have heard but in case not: glue around vases(decoupage glue dries clear with many varieties available), glue to cut down plastic bottles, boxes and containers(I use empty cat litter containers) for decor and storage, affix to styrofoam or cardboard shapes(any size you prefer) and embellish and/or connect for wall decor, tie bow around pillow and/or chair backs for a new look, drape over curtain rod for a valance look, braid thick sturdy(less ravelly) pieces for dog toys and pull through large hole beads or pendants for instant jewelry. Hope this helps and you can understand my "Ohio English" Have fun!!

    Cut cocktail straws into 1" pieces. If scrapes are long cut into 1"x8" strips with tacky glue roll onto straw roll to end. If you want it thinner just cut strip. Glue end and then rub glue over bead to harden it. Find different shapes for beads on Pinterest. Can also use paper. When beads are dry make necklaces . 2 -60" strips of 1mm leather start 3"s from top knot together string bead knot , place next bead on other side knot continue to bead knot leaving 3" s can knot ends but I use fold over ends 1jumpring lobster clasp, do same on other side with jump ring . Put the 2 ends in 1 fold over end put super glue inside before closing end. Little trick I glue the 2 ends together then glue inside.

    Wall paper a wall with fabric and laundry starch. It is easy to remove when you are tired of it. Just yank it down and wash the starch off the wall.
