Results: Economizing confetti and stuffing

I like craft-making; often I take old small boxes such as empty band-aid boxes, fill them up, then seal and decorate them in various ways. For the stuffing, I usually round up old scrap paper or tags. If you make crafts which require stuffing, do you use this sort of ready material?

By snipping the paper into small, confetti-sized pieces, I am able to fit more into a single container than by simply crumpling and stuffing them in. While this does take a bit of time, if there's a lot of paper required, it makes for good hand exercise when I'm watching a program or listening to music. If you do use scrap paper for stuffing crafts, do you economize it in this way?

Of course, colourful scraps like old tissue paper can also be reused to make confetti to be used as confetti. Do you ever do this?

Does this strike you as a handy way to recycle papers that you don't want to dispose of, but don't know what else to do with?
