Before tossing out those scraps of cardstock, think about turning them into hole reinforcers for your crafting stash! This simple, mindless process is a great way to use up leftovers while creating something practical. Set up in Design Space is easy, and you’ll have a stash ready to add a polished touch to tags, journals, or planners. It’s a fun and efficient way to reduce waste and stock up on handy embellishments!
To make the reinforcers in Design Space, align two circles that are 1/2″ and 1/4″, then duplicate that as many times as you desire.

When working with scraps, I like to keep things simple and stress-free. I place the pieces on my mat without worrying too much about perfect alignment with the design. After all, the beauty of using scraps is embracing their uniqueness—whatever works gets added to my stash! This approach not only saves time but also ensures that no piece goes to waste, making the process both efficient and rewarding.
Using white scraps adds even more versatility to your stash! You can easily customize them to match any project by coloring them with ink, paint, or even markers. This way, you’ll always have perfectly coordinated reinforcers, accents, or embellishments that fit your design palette. It’s a great way to save time, reduce waste, and ensure your projects have that cohesive, polished look.

As an added bonus, don’t forget about the centers! If you think you might have a use for them, save those too and add them to your stash. These little pieces can be handy for embellishments, layering, or even creating tiny accents in your projects. It’s a simple way to maximize your materials and keep your creative options open!
