leather ideas SOOOOOO MUCH SCRAP!!!!

[DarkGoku]

Help! I have 3 tubs total of scrap leather I have accumulated over time. 1 tub oil tan, 1 tub veg, and 1 tub chrome tanned. I have drawn a blank on what to do with it, I don't like the idea of throwing any away if I don't have too. I just need ideas on simple easy projects that don't require much time that way I can continue with my normal day to day. Key fobs are the only thing I can think of right now, but it gets boring doing just those!

The pieces range from the size of a standard rounded key fob, to a large journal. any advice would be appreciated  in fact any projects are welcomed easy or hard, because I hope this post might help others who are in the same boat

I do a lot of med. to heavy weight projects, that would make a pretty heavy quilt:) if I had more garment grade that sounds pretty cool Thank you

I have a very nice leather 'rug' made out of leather squares about 100mm a side sewn onto a backing or howasbout some patchwork place mats, trivets & coasters.

When you say journal size is that big enough to do a mouse mat ?

Heavy weight leather, perhaps some small boxes.

never thought about that!  I was thinking mouse pads, but most want to have them tooled and I'm limited on time, between my own products and custom work. I do like the other ideas though, thank you

Black River laser has some nice templates for guitar pick key chains.

Some one here was making key chain I phone stands too. It was really simple, but cool.
