Projects with orts:
- put them into clear glass Christmas balls and make each project’s “scraps” into its own ornament
- put the orts between layers of water soluble fabric and overstitch them with a sewing machine – you can make your own delicate funky lace!
- simply keep them in a tall narrow jar and watch the layers develop as your projects get completed, almost like the rings on a tree growing
