Sometimes, when you are making a project or a recipe, you use everything you have. Other times, there is just a little bit of something left over. Whether it’s yarn or noodles, usually what is left just a small, extra amount, not sufficient to create a whole different big recipe or project. It’s hard to find something to do with just a half cup of noodles or some cut-up old magazines. Instead of throwing that little bit out, why not recycle them into a project or create recipe that’s a hodgepodge of different ingredients?
