With my leftover string I usually make cat toys or cat blankets because my friends cats love them.If you know how to crochet it really helps with using up the leftover string,I tie them together then start crocheting a pattern,I made myself a nice warm double blanket from my leftovers 😄 |

I like to use my scrap for practice. If I'm tying a difficult pattern that I've never tried before, I will practice the pattern on scrap string. That way if I mess up, I'm not wasting good string. I also use my scrap in alpha patterns. Sometimes an alpha pattern will call for two or three knots of a particular color. I use my scrap for that, so I don't have to cut a short amount off of my main string. I've already got a short bit of string in my scrap pile!

Make small keychain sized pieces and you can pin them to things like buttons or use them as a keychain. 🙂

I was thinking maybe badges? Like we were raising awareness and money for an issue of our choice, I had this crazy idea to add friendship bracelets to badges, like shaped alpha's ( which FYI I suck at)

I use the longer scrap strings for teeny bracelets, for babies or little kids because they have smaller wrists. I also try out random ideas and make small things like cellphone charms, rings, keychain decorations, etc. I call these things "Scrapys" because it's a bunch of scrap strings. I like some of other ideas on here too, I'll have to try some out! 🙂
