Scraps – somehow they seem to multiply in the dark. Every project makes scraps. And because they’re leftovers from projects past, we already have a connection with them.
You may love scraps. . . or you may rarely use them (been there, done that). Therefore, how you sort, keep, and store them should honestly reflect your relationship to scraps. If your scrap bin is at the point of overflowing and you’re looking for some ideas on how to whittle it down, we’ve got some ideas for you. Check out this list with a few of our favorite ideas and a few of our favorite tutorials!
