Great uses for your paper scraps


If you have been paper crafting for any length of time, you probably have a big box of paper scraps.  It can get overwhelming.  I don't want to throw them out, but at the same time, what can I do with all those little pieces of paper?

Do you have the same problem?  If so, here are some great uses for your paper scraps...

  • Use your paper punches to cut scraps into decorative shapes.  You can then use these for cards, scrapbooking, etc.
  • Make paper chains.
  • Donate your scraps to pre-schools, your church Sunday School program, or nursing homes for their craft time.
  • Use for decoupaging products.
  • Shred the paper and use it in packages you mail.
  • Make mini cards.
  • Use Project Life dies to cut Project Life cards for use in scrapbooking.
  • Cut into strips to use as borders for your card.
  • Use Alphabet Dies to cut letters to make words and phrases for your cards and scrapbook pages.
So tell me... how do you use up your paper scraps?
