Q. What's the result of making hundreds of brides happy with thousands of cootie catchers?
A. A big mess!
I print my cooties on 8.5" x 11" paper. After they are trimmed to size (8.5" square), I have leftovers! I could never throw them out, of course, and have been using them for all sorts of things-
---- scrap paper (great for lists!)
---- matchbook notepads
---- color swatches for samples
---- Packaging
But I just can't keep up! These things are multiplying! So I had a great idea...
I could sell them (for practically nothing, of course!) to someone who could use them brilliantly. They would be PERFECT for making homemade paper (wish I had the time...)
Or for scrapbooking (acid, ligning free! =)
Or cutting into strips for quilling...
Making your own notepads...
Shred it and use it for gift bags/baskets!

Any teachers out there? You could do SOOOO much with all this paper!

What is the weight of those left overs? is it cardstock?
Hi there-
To first answer your question, no, these are not cardstock weight (at least, the majority of them are not- I occasionally have cardstock, but only once in a while).
But secondly, this post is over a year old and I no longer am offering castoffs in my etsy shop. :( In fact, I just donated all of the ones I currently have on hand to a special ed program just last month.
of course, I will be accumulating castoffs as the year progresses, so if you are in need of a particular color, or for whatever reason, let me know! My email is katskrafts{at}yahoo{.}com
Thanks!
