Hi! Idk if this is the good forum but I have a question,
What do you guys do with scrap threads? I keep them in a box, but what do you guys make with scrap threads?

I use them to make fringe bracelets. Either I use a simple color combination for the fringes and use the base strings to add a pattern on it (like I did for the bracelets I posted on pattern #57059 and #53668 for example) or I just make a cute and original color combination with only the fringes (like I did for my photo of pattern #36730 ; this photo is not on the website yet I just published it because I realized I never did before).

To find these photos, since the patterns all have lots of photos, you can search in the "photos" tab, searching "by user : Odanak1811" and "Pattern # : 57059 or 53668 or 36730"

I'd say fringe bracelets or I make a lot of alphas so I try to use my scrap threads when I don't need a lot of a specific colour in an alpha 🙂

I use scrap thread for alphas when i don't need alot of that color or you can use it for some other bracelets Masha Knots on Youtube has a video "5 simple bracelets for beginners" and the rag rug bracelet in that video is made entirely out of scrap thread so you can check it out. She has a video about scrap thread and how to use it, it is called "Scrap thread overview"

Some people use their scraps as base strings (if they’re long enough). My scrap bin is actually overflowing right now, and I should probably do something with them

I collect them and put all of them in a jar, there’s not really a use but it just looks cool lol

I colour co-ordinate my scrap threads, store them in my sewing table and re-use them for smaller projects or patterns that require for example, two knots of black thread, instead of using a new ball of thread 🙂
