You can make nice origami with these labels, like kusudama.

just throw it. it's not such a big deal. How much skeins are you currently using?

personally, I just finished winding all the skeins into bobbins a few weeks ago, and that was my last stash of floss I bought (over the last year or so), I had probably 500 skeins. I've now got over 1100 skeins wound onto the bobbins, and that's not actually counting the floss I've used to make the bracelets that I have been making in the last 4 years or so (those are separated from the rest of my stock)

Macrame, I know they're not such a big deal just I wanted to see if anyone had found any good ideas to use them for before they get thrown out.

kleinevos, thank you I'll check that out!

Neva, how much skeins do you use???

RE: Does anyone know what to do with the labels on skeins? by Neva 9 years ago

I go through quite a lot? I've been keeping them and I have a small ziplock bag full. I use a bunch of whites and blacks and then other colors that require a lot of string for certain patterns.

Were you thinking of using the labels for other crafts?

Because then it might be fun to try use em to make paper beads or, a candywrapper bracelet

RE: Does anyone know what to do with the labels on skeins? by Neva 9 years ago

I generally know how to make paper beads but I don't know how to use the skeins for that? (unless they're super small)

The candy wrapper seems.. possible? I'll have to try it!

I personally don't use skeins so I'm not really sure how big they are haha, I just kind of felt people missed the point in your question.

RE: Does anyone know what to do with the labels on skeins? by Neva 9 years ago

They're about smaller than an inch. I suppose I can try it but it would be hard to roll it up.
