A cheap, easy way to get stuffing for your projects
I've set the time to 0, because it'll probably take you a few months to save up the scraps, ( i saved up for a few years before i did this ) & then a few hours to cut up all the scraps (depending apon how many you saved).

All of the pictures, yes are just clipart, but this is an incredibly simple project so I hoped nobody would need real pictures. If you do need help with anything just message me and ask.

    Everytime you do a project, save all the scraps, no matter how tiny, or poorly shaped they are, and colour deffinintly doesn't matter.

    Step 2

    After awhile, you'll end up with a large amount of scraps.

    Seperate out the scraps you know you'll never use, maybe they're wripped, tiny, ugly, or you just don't think you'll ever use it on another project.

    Step 3

    Use the scraps you seperated, and cut them up really tiny into the plastic bag. (you may need a few hours for this depending apon how many scraps you have, & how much stuffing you want)

    Colour, shape, size, don't matter, as long as their tiny.

    Step 5

    If you need white stuffing alot, cause you tend to use thinner fabrics, or lighter ones and you're afraid the regular stuffing you make will show threw, cut up white, & lighter coloured scraps into a different bag.

    This project will save you the money you normally spend on stuffing, allowing you to spend the money making more projects.
