Uses for Fleece Scraps

RE: Uses for Fleece Scraps Post By Rocky Chura (Guest Post) (12/30/2007) I have a lot of thin pieces cut from evening up the sides of the blankets before preparing, along with the "cut out corners"/squares. I read the APA needs toys and blankets for kittens. One of the toys is a mouse made with scrap material and filled with cat nip. Thinking about that. But I'm curious if the strips can be used to construct a latch hook "fleece" rug? Has anyone tried that?

RE: Uses for Fleece Scraps Post By Trix (Guest Post) (12/29/2006) I make soft rattles with them. I cut them into shapes (stars, trees, dolls, moons, whatever you like) and sew them up and fill them with stuffing and a couple of jingle bells. Little kids love the sound of the jingle bells (and they can't swallow them if they're inside the toy) and they are very cuddly. RE: Uses for Fleece Scraps Post By (Guest Post) (12/29/2006) you could cut out two small squares say 4 inches by 4 inches and sew up 3 sides like a cushion and pop left over scraps of soap inside then sew up the 4th side and put on the soap dish or beside the bath they will lather up quite well for washing hands and wont make a mess of the sink either, they wont last long but at least they would get used also could fleece be chopped up and used for pet bedding such as hamster or gerbil?

You could make those sticky flannel boards for kids... with shapes etc. ---> How about a baby quilt? ---> Sew them together for throw pillows ---> Make Barbie or doll clothes ---> Cut out leaf shapes glue 2 together with a wire between them, cut out flower petals & make flowers, or flower pins & barrettes... (See how they make ribbon flowers for ideas) ---> Cut into strips and tie on a barrette blank. ---> Cut into strips & make a Christmas wreath by tying them on a hanger or poking the strips into a foam wreath (with a knitting needle or the end of a paint brush) put a bit of glue on the middle & let ends hang out. RE: Uses for Fleece Scraps Post By rosa (Guest Post) (12/28/2006) How about sewing them together and making a quilt, or sew enough together to make a vest to wear, or doggie coats . rose RE: Uses for Fleece Scraps Post by melody_yesterday (312) | (12/28/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact how about beads ?! http://www.fabric-artist.com/wearables/clothbeads1.htm RE: Uses for Fleece Scraps Post By jean (Guest Post) (12/27/2006) Depending on the size of the squares, you could make coasters using two thicknesses. Trace a chil'ds hands, and make mittens. Sew a number of squares together to make a scarf. Make litlle sachets and stuff them with pot pourri. Cut out 2 shapes, sew together, reverse,stuff lightly, trim, attach ribbon or cord loop at top, and hang on your Christmas tree.

The woman had cut the fleece into little strips, about 3" Long, and 1/4" wide. She then stacked them, and tied a longer piece of fleece (more like a long string) around the stack, in the center. As she tightened the "string" to tie the knot, the stack of fleece became gathered into a ball shape. It makes a safe, cute, soft hanging toy to hang from a door knob, etc. She sold them for $.50, but she had to have made at least $25.00 on her "leftover" fleece scraps! Also, I have used them for backing on my homemade coasters, and they are good to glue on to the bottoms of knick knacks to keep them from scratching your furniture.
