An idea for scraps!

I had a bunch of small, less then 1" x 5" strips left over from a project and wanted to do something with them, I have more pincushions then I can shake a stick at, which will not stop me from collecting more but I wanted something else.

 I've become and even lighter sleeper in the last few months, which I wouldn't have thought possible. Any light is now bothering me. I'd made a fabric scarf that I wasn't wearing because it was too bulky for me so I'd been putting it over my eyes to sleep. This, of course, was a lazy solution.
After weeks of saying I would make myself a proper sleep mask I finally did!

Those scraps were perfect!

Now  I'm just wondering if I shouldn't have bound it? Or sewn it together like a pillow and turn it out?
I used some left over Moda Snuggles, so the back if beautifully soft and lovely feeling. A bit of an elastic cord and all done!

May have to make another one to figure it out but for now it works!
