What began as a small pile of odd-shaped buckskin scraps has once again turned into something much more meaningful. The creations we’ve seen this year are functional, decorative, and, in many cases, a little bit of both. Every entry is a reminder that creativity and craftsmanship can bring new life to materials that might otherwise be discarded.

Each year, we’re blown away by what people manage to make from the remnants we pull from the shop floor. What some would see as waste, you’ve transformed into something with purpose and personality—and that’s exactly the spirit this contest is all about. With a little creative thinking, there really is a use for just about anything.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who took part in this year’s Recycled Remnants Contest. Whether you stitched something together, cast a vote, or shared the challenge with a friend, your involvement helps keep this whole thing going. We host this contest because it’s fun, inspiring, and a great reminder of what’s possible—but we also do it for you. If you want to see it return next year, let us know! A comment, a message, or a quick review goes a long way.

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for:
