10 Projects Using Felt Scraps

felt
Like most crafters, I find it hard to throw out any scraps of felt that I acquire when making bigger projects. That two by two inch square of yellow felt will be used for something, right? Eventually, though, my box starts to burst with scrappy goodness. Here are ten projects utilizing those felt scraps that you’ve collected over time.
