I have to admit, I’m a self proclaimed scrap hoarder. Be it yarn scraps<\/a> or fabric scraps, I rarely throw even the tiniest piece away, lest I find a crafty use for it down the track.<\/p>\n

Small fabric scraps can be used for small sewing projects, like this patchwork trivet<\/a>, or hexagon table runner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Long thin scraps are harder to find uses for, until now.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have a collection of long fabric scraps, you can tear up old sheets, worn out business shirts or other unwanted fabric.<\/p>\n

Why you should upcycle your fabric scraps into Scrap Fabric Twine<\/h2>\n

1. Reduces waste and is environmentally responsible<\/h3>\n

The EPA(US) estimates that textile waste occupies nearly 5% of all landfill space. Granted, most of that is unwanted clothing, but as crafters we have a responsibility to use materials efficiently and not contribute to landfill unnecessarily. Diverting scraps from landfill to make something useful, like a rug or basket (and not having to buy that product new), is a very tangible way to reduce our consumption and carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll save money<\/h3>\n

Using up all the fabric scraps you have is free, so it\u2019s the perfect money saving craft project to keep you busy right now.<\/p>\n

3. Clears clutter and frees up storage space<\/h3>\n

If you’re anything like me, you might keep all the fabric scraps \u2018just in case\u2019. All those really long thin pieces can tangle together and make a big mess. It\u2019s amazing how quickly fabric scraps accumulate. Making a concerted effort to use up scrap fabric in projects will help you free up storage space to help de-clutter your home.<\/p>\n

4. It\u2019s addictive!<\/h3>\n

You’ll get hooked on making rope with scrap fabric. It\u2019s super addictive and sort of meditative, and because it doesn’t require too much concentration, you can make it while you watch a movie or your favourite TV show. The perfect multi-tasking craft!<\/p>\n

5. Scrap Fabric Twine has so many uses<\/h3>\n

Scrap fabric twine can be used in so many ways. I\u2019ve rounded up a list of 13 projects and ideas just to get you started. If you know an avid gardener, gift them a spool of homemade twine, it comes in so handy for tying up stuff.<\/p>\n
