"Some stitchers snip them smaller and leave them out for the birds to put in their nests.":D I like this idea, i will try it.

There is a group that does a TUSAL (Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long).  All they do is collect their orts and take pictures to show how their collection grows as they stitch.  Funny, kinda cute!

That is funny. I have also noticed that on several blogs, there are monthly photos of jars/bowls with orts collected. I collect mine in an old coffee mug, but once it is full, I do empty it.

Interesante, yo solo he guardado los de un proyecto algo grande que hice, aunque me gusta verlos al terminar cada labor ;P
