What to do with all your paper scraps?

Here is a project sure I got from Terry Cowans about what to do with all your scraps. Here is the link to her youtube channel.

[@darlawelch9676]

I'm a card-maker. The first thing I do with my scraps is to cut any pieces into 5 1/4x4 card-mat size. They fit perfectly into the little 4x6 plastic Iris boxes, and I store them by color. That way I always have a card mat pre-cut and ready to go for my A2 cards.

[@duffer9904]

Great idea!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@craftsbypwilli2664]

darla welch Excellent idea! 😊

[@Taitcreates639]

Thank you for the great ideas.

[@neldaflores8778]

What a great video! Thank you for the great ideas!

[@roxannetucker5813]

Awesome tip, I definitely need to do this with my scraps!

[@debbiewill4574]

As a quilt teacher as well as a paper lover, I recommended this same process to my quilting students in regard to their fabric stash...I had not considered utilizing it for my paper! Thank you!

[@duffer9904]

Much easier with paper I am sure!! Would love to be able to do this with fabric!!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@februaryandjune]

Super great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@amandapardue5205]

[@duffer9904]

Thank you for watching!! Kerry :D

[@TanBraeDesigns]

Clever! I like the concept. It's reminiscent of serendipity squares.

[@suzum.9713]

Love how neat they look in your box, all cut to same size. Also love your board with the measurements. I think I might have inherited one fromy mom. Gonna go check, because I want to protecty new desk surface!

[@joannedonovan9489]

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing it with us!!

[@duffer9904]

[@jojomasipa379]

What a great idea - I am SO stealing this idea. Make so much sense!! Thank you

[@MsGrannyKathy]

Love this idea. I have so many scraps and this will certainly them usable. The leftovers will then be punched in to various shapes. Thanks so much.

[@duffer9904]

And it is so easy to do, you will love it!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@divenursok]

I have several envelopes of hearts and butterflies that I've punched from small scraps and then do patchwork cards! WASTE NOT WANT NOT!!

[@aclarkclark2945]

I like this idea--I had small strips and saw where someone had in one evening of tv made some paper by glueing the strips diagonal--and other ways and made some interesting papers.--So that is what I did--the project turned out beautiful--lots of all sizes of cardstock for all kinds of projects and cards--Now I will try your example--I love it--thanks for sharing--

[@duffer9904]

I love that idea, thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@gr8fng]

Love this idea well done 👏

[@melissatest7963]

I just did something similar. I put them on the diagonal and they are beautiful. Make great card bases too.

[@duffer9904]

I am going to have the try them diagonally now...great idea!!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@carolynzauss5703]

Great ideas. Some I already do and some were new to me that I look forward to trying. Especially the last, using up your drawer of scraps like that.

[@robinhere4230]

Love this idea!! Thanks.

[@teresaluders1805]

I love the collage idea!

[@Disarae1]

[@duffer9904]

It is actually, and really fast to do! Kerry :D

[@mscookie6614]

[@SewEasyCreations]

Wow, great ideas! Thank you!

[@duffer9904]

Thank you for watching!! Kerry :D

[@suzannerosbach8357]

Very cool idea.

[@joycecarter4597]

Love this idea! Awesome! 😊 💗

[@M1326]

awesome idea... I have never thought to do it with larger sheets, but I do this with tags, I take all my scraps, and just create scrap tag bases and put them aside, and when I feel like crafting easy, i pull out my scrap tags, all those unused colored images, or ephemera and I create super easy tags... I like your idea on the cutting scraps down to 4x6 and 2x3... that I will def do, thanks

[@patriciatreat1170]

I love this ideal. A neat way to use up scrap paper❤

[@ConnieBarnum]

Thanks for the ideas. I love it. I have so many scraps. I don't throw anything away except for the very smallest ones.

[@duffer9904]

That's how I was, and now every couple of months I just get out my bin of scraps and make these!! So easy!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@paulawastel8315]

This is a marvellous idea. I have tons of scraps. The cards one can use as pockets in your junk journals or as tags if you do the collages on white paper. Thanks for sharing this marvellous idea with us. Just love your collection of Project Life cards.

[@duffer9904]

It does really go fast to do this, and the output is great!!! Thanks for watching! Kerry :D

[@thepickypainter9854]

Fabulous !! Thank you !!!

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

So glad you like it!! Thanks for watching!!! Kerry :D

[@gardenvarietyvegan4096]

Such a great idea!

I listened to her as well💌. I now have six packets. I organized my scraps into various sizes, labelled and bagged off. I use them for card making. ✔Love your idea!!

[@duffer9904]

That is awesome, so glad you could use this idea!! Thanks for watching !!! Kerry :D

[@ellennieminen9636]

Great idea! They turned out great! I think I'll make some for my card bases and my project life cards! I have a plastic bin full of scraps.

[@duffer9904]

It's such an easy and fun way to use your scraps!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@MsSemolady]

This is also called "FRANKENPAGES". I have been doing this for years. There are Many KZbin videos on doing this. I love to sew mine once all the paper is just tacked down. If I want to really glue each piece, then I would go back later and using a Fine Tip Sharpie, I would mark in Sewing Stitches.

[@duffer9904]

Thanks those are great ideas!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@mydyisgod]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing

[@duffer9904]

Thank you for watching! Kerry :D

[@fastquilter600]

Great way to use the scraps! Off I go to use up my scraps! I always use small scraps to punch out shapes.

[@duffer9904]

I tend to use my punches on some of my scraps as well!! Thanks for watching!! Kerry :D

[@TheMoparlvr]

what a great idea! Thx!

[@duffer9904]

Thanks for watching!! Kerry D

[@thislittlebylittlelife]

Awesome idea!!

[@scootermom1791]

When I have scraps from a themed paper pad, I save them in a zip lock (size depends on size of pad...ex. A gallon size for 12x12 pad) then tape the zip lock of scraps to the cardboard back of the pad. It works so well when I need scraps that match that theme without looking through all of my paper scraps. Hope that makes sense.

[@duffer9904]

That makes perfect sense, great idea as well!! Thanks for watching!!! Kerry :D

[@personalestok6693]

Brilliant!

[@lindaryen2191]

Great idea!

[@bethann4641]

Angela Warner Super idea! I’m definitely going to start doing that.

[@darlenedesario2811]

[@m.elainebates7931]

I do cardmaking & save scraps anyway. But the FRANKEN-PAPER😄 is such a great idea! I think I will steal, er, oops, BORROW this idea 😁 That way I can make mats for my card sentiments. Thx for sharing😍

Recently found your channel and I am obsessed. I am a scrapbooker as well as a planner. I intend to make better use of my scraps instead of reaching for a new 12 x 12 paper. Also obsessed about your videos of your Hobo Bujo and have watched and rewatched them several times.

[@debbrewer3311]

I take strips and glue them diagonally across card bases and then trim it down to th card for anything still hanging off, I use almost every tiny piece of paper I possibly can and when I sell those cards I have a sticker on the packaging that says it's up cycled, I have people interested in those cards more than the regular cards I make.

[@sunshinehoneybees]

Great job

[@glendafulton]

Wow I feel so ashamed of all my scraps when I see the order you have yours in I promise I will follow your example thanks for the inspiration :-)
