What to do with short left over yarns?
I use these yarns which are usually cut offs from the working ends or tail ends of my finished crochet projects, to mark stitches on my current projects

About Me:
I'm a self taught crocheter and an aspiring crochet designer. I learned to crochet when I was seven after watching a lady doing crochet. I was so fascinated by how quick and nimble her fingers were as she created a pretty lace. I abandoned the craft for a long time and just pick it up again last year. Currently I'm learning to write my crochet instructions based from my own crochet designs. I hope to learn and share my experience in this forum and also hope to make friends along the way. For now, I'm packing for a 5-day cruise to the Carribean, so hope to hear more from you all when I get back.

I use them to tie "bows" into scarves that are on the scrapppy looking side. Works like a charm!
Also, I make fasteners for purses by rolling the yarn into a golfball-sized ball, make a hole in the middle of the "ball," and then tie it on all 4 "sides, snipping the threads very close to the "ball." Next, I sew on an oblong wooden button to the bag, sew the "ball," which is now a makeshift "clasp," to the flap. The button fits beautifully through the "clasp," and looks lovely and very stylish on the bag. If you should decide to felt your bag, a little more sewing is involved because there are no holes in your work, but it is still very lovely.
