Make strips of the scraps. Roll so the raw edges are not exposed. Braid the strips attaching new strips when one gets too short. Sew the strips into a circle or oval using button and carpet thread along the way. The biggest challenge, I think, is keeping it flat. Laying it out on the floor occasionally to check that it's flat before stitching rows together really helps.
