Uses for leftover or used handlebar tape?

Every time I wrap road bike bars, I generally have about a foot of brand new bar tape leftover from each side if I trim the end square (i.e. cut off the part that was tapered to end the wrap). Two feet total. Nowhere near enough to wrap another set of bars but more than just a tiny scrap.

Has anyone thought of any good uses for this so it doesn't just go right in the garbage?

Doesn't have to be a bicycle related application.

Please specify if your application requires a specific type of bar tape, e.g. cork, fabric, padded, adhesive. Or color.

Similar question for the full-length pieces of old bar tape removed from the bike. It's usually pretty ratty by the time it's removed, but could have a second life somewhere aside from the garbage.
