Overview

Do you keep all your wood and metal off-cuts, and bits of paper and fabric and think "I could probably use this stuff for something someday . . ."

Now's your chance! Use up your leftover scrap materials to make something awesome and you could win.

You can use any kind of leftover scrap materials: fabric, paper, metal, wood, etc.

Pro Tip! The top Instructables in this challenge will show readers the previous project the leftover scraps are from, to prove that the materials used to make the new thing are literally leftover scrap materials.
