I know I should probably just toss them, but the art student in me knows there must be some great use for them I just haven’t thought of yet lol
Be careful. When a thread king gets to a certain size, it may acquire sentience.
In the crafting world, these are called orts. And some people get super creative with them! I’ve seen them user to decorate cards, to make collage art, to fill little clear Christmas ornaments or felt animals, etc. I’ve been saving the ones from my current project because I want to take a picture of the finished cross stitch next to all its orts. It feels like a visual representation of “you can’t make omelet without breaking a few eggs”, you know?
My current YouTube feed would recommend encasing it in epoxy, then using a lathe to make a bowl out of it.
First I give them to my cat, then to my roomba.
My cat would probably just eat them. Then I’d have to deal with them again when they come out the other side 😰
Depends on the situation. As long as everyone consents, then who am I to judge how some people have fun?
If you save enough, they actually make decent stuffing for throw pillows and similar projects.
