Make Clever Use of Leftovers

Dear users, dear authors,
if you have leftovers, you’ll find suitable patterns here in this thread that let you turn leftovers into beautiful creations. 

@Authors,
you can each present 2–3 suitable patterns here. Don’t forget links, images, info, etc. All patterns advertised here must have at least 10 sales / a CR of at least 2% and must not have been presented in the forum in the past 3 weeks. 

With this tea light holder, you can bring the beautiful colors of fall into your home!



The tea light holder is made of photo cardstock and measures approximately 12.5 cm. Aside from some experience using a craft knife, you don’t need any special prior knowledge—the holder is very easy to make and comes together quickly.

You can crochet wonderful toys for children from leftover cotton yarn.


For the Mouse Hunt board game, you need about 70 g of white cotton yarn and half a ball each in the colors of a color die. The goal of the game is to catch as many mice as possible with the cats. The game rules are included in the pattern; but you can also make up your very own rules for it.


With this "Quiet Book"  , children can playfully practice using different fasteners such as buttons, bows, hooks, etc. This helps develop the child's fine motor skills. There are also matching activities (by shapes, colors, etc.). On the book cover is the popular game "Tic Tac Toe".


And finally, the crochet pattern for a well-filled berry basket. It contains raspberries, blackberries, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, and red currants.

Now you can dive deep into your scrap box and become the designer yourself!

The Loop HAPPY SCRAPPY invites you to turn your scraps of 4-ply sock yarn and other leftover yarn of the same weight into a magical accessory!

For this balloon cover, individual granny squares are crocheted. You can use up lots of leftover yarn here or use your favorite colors. 

To change the balloon, we crochet a hidden opening, so the cover dries quickly after washing.
