    I have loads of baker twine and not a clue of what to do with it! LOL :) I have used bits of it to do small things, like tie on buttons or wrap a little around a tag...but have not made a dent into my supply. Since we have more coming this month in the kit, anyone want to help me out with some ideas?

    You could cut a few lengths of it and use it as a border under a picture, staple at both ends.
    Layer double sided tape down in layers and make words from it.
    sewing on layouts

    i cant think of any more right now lol

    I use it for lots of stuff besides scrapbooking - wrapping presents, baked goods (ha - it's original intent!), etc. Are you on pinterest? If you search baker's twine, there are some cute ideas on there too for ways to use it. :)

    I LOVE it for wrapping presents. Kraft wrapping paper + twine = perfection!

    I've seen flowers made from them, or "filling-in" areas that have been cut out of a paper. (I can't seem to put into words a good description of that, hrmph)

    I tend to use it as I would ribbon, but I have quite a bit too. (not complaining, I like the stuff!) I look forward to seeing other ideas. :)

    Here we go this is what I mean by filling in. I have seen this done with hearts & flowers and it would look neat behind a title that was die-cut too.

    Here's the website I got the image from http://whiskergraphics.com/blog/2012/01/divine-twine-butterfly-card/

    You can make little pom-poms ... use a fork to wind around then through the centre tines to tie off. Snip on each outside tine and voila! :D

    Shawna, I love your layouts! A twine heavy layout is in my near future... thanks for the inspiration!! What type of adhesive did you use? My fear with using my typical adhesive is that it will stick for now, but will come apart as the years go on...

    dpayne, thanks so much for sharing!! I LOVE day 3 the most... the circle! Day 1 is amazing too but definitely a bit too advanced for a twiner rookie like me :)

    I am so excited about all of these ideas.... hopefully I will have some twine-y layouts in the gallery soon! Thanks everyone!!!!

    Loved reading all these responses, and thanks for sharing those links Diane! I was going to say for wrapping presents with Kraft paper too, that peppermint twine would be perfection for Christmas.

    I used my ATG and it seems to be holding fine.

    If anything else fails to use up all the twine, try this:

    LOL Elisa!!! I wonder what the hubby would think if he came home and there was twine strung EVERYWHERE. "Look, honey, I decorated!!"
