I have so much yarn scraps, from all the afghans that I am working on. And don't you feel they are too good to be thrown away. This is what I came up with this afternoon. You just need a bottle, yarn scraps and glue. Just stick them on as you wish. I want to make lots of these.
Do you have ideas to use yarn scraps, that you do not mind sharing??

This seems fun and simple enough for kids to help with as well.
It looks really cool, what a great way to repurpose scraps :)
Pretty, colorful and useful. We used to make these in school when I was a kid.........way way back in dark ages. lol
What a cool idea! sadly, I just throw the scraps in trash.will keep this in mind the next time I end up with yarn scraps..
What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing :)
I think everyone looks for something to do with their yarn scraps.
What a great idea! I'm now kicking myself that I just emptied out a glass jar of offcut scraps into the bin about 3 days ago *slaps head* - my kids would have loved doing this!
I try not to have any leftover yarn but if I do a scrap afghan is started. Thanks for the great links in your previous post.
The is so cool! Love it!
Thats a very cool way to use up all your yarn scraps :)
I must admit I throw tonnes of those short bits out, but it does feel a waste
What a cool idea! I've got lots of yarn scraps - I also use them to stuff my amigurumi's with, but this is definitely a more colorfull option!
xo,

great idea! my teen has been using my scraps to make yarn art. it's basically any line drawing with yarn glued on it instead of coloring it with crayons. :)
What a fantastic idea! I love it.
great idea! One thing I saw which was pretty cool was buying some of those diy clear plastic christmas decorations, and filling them with yarn scraps. Hope that make sense!
What a great idea! I bet you could cover a can too.
very simple idea.. check this link.. i vent tried, but its on queue http://carolynshomework.blogspot.com/2011/03/etceteras-yarn-bowl.html

I love this idea! I just found your blog via the link party and Made in K-town. I adore it! I can't believe I didn't find your blog before! Thank you so much!

I love this! Do you know how many bottles I have saved? And how much yarn I have that probably can't be used for anything else? I will definitely be giving this project a try this week. Thanks for sharing!
I do use small bits of yarn to create chains and then use them to make hearts or flowers on cardstock. Best wishes, Tammy
Hi! What a great idea! There's a link party on my blog every Saturday. I would love it if you’d hop over and add something. Have a lovely day! Annemarie
That's a cool one and even I do that but not with waste yarns. I don't get much scraps. I am too stingy with my yarns and cut them as close as possible.
thats one neat kid friendly project. I remember doing these one summer vacation when we were kids :)we also made paper mache bowls and bangles , then stuck yarn scraps / coloured coir scraps. I must try and do it again :))
Thats lovely :) I need lots of such ideas because I want to use even the smallest bit of leftover yarn and unless I have finished most of my earlier stash, I don't feel comfortable in buying more yarn :( yes... I am stringy ;)
What a fab idea! I've got a jar full of these little ends that I've kept for absolutely no reason, I might try this if I get time :-) thank for sharing, it's a wacky but wonderful idea!!
Marvellous, marvellous, marvellous idea!!
I love it and will be doing the same.
They look so pretty too.
Have a good week!
Xx
Very cute way to use up some scraps!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing
what a great idea!! so simple and effective!
Love your yarny jar! It's beautiful! I'd imagine you could glue in some seed beads there too to add a touch of sparkle if your yarn stash is a bit dull (like mine - all blues, greys and black!) x
