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

    I hoard my ORTs in a mason jar against the day I come up with a weird project for them. Considering putting them inside a set of handmade dice, maybe 🤔

      After reading some of the responses here I have also started an ort jar! If I save enough maybe I’ll stuff a pillow with them 😀

          I’ve been making lamps lately and someone suggested tassels for a lamp shade so that may be an option too! Either way it’s going to be a while before I have enough 😅

                  Thanks! I will check them out! I mostly take old broken lamps that are bound for the trash and use the parts to make new ones. This was an old brass lamp from the 80s that my mom asked me to throw away, so of course it went straight into my car lol the shade took a while to make though
