Do you have old jeans, shirts, and bedding that maybe have a few holes in them? Even if they’re in otherwise great condition, a few holes here and there make you feel like you have to toss them out, but that’s not true! Here are 3 clever ways you can repurpose your old material into great, everyday things.
1. Pillow Mat From Bed Sheets
You’ll Need:
- 1 bed sheet
- needle & thread
- ribbon
- 8 buttons
- 4 pillows
Here’s How:
1.1 Cut the sheet down the middle lengthwise. You’ll need one of the halves for this project and can save the other half for something else.
1.2 Divide the sheet into 4 equally-sized sections, one below the other.
1.3 Sew off the sections, stopping about 6 inches from the edges.
1.4 Sew a ribbon loop on both sides of each section.
1.5 Flip back the upper side of the duvet cover and cut an incision every 2 inches.
1.6 On the back, sew a button on either side of each section.
The 3 DIY projects show just how easy it is to make a huge cuddly pillow, a stylish cushion cover, and a practical bag, and all from old materials that you would have otherwise just thrown away! Doesn’t it feel great to get creative and save money all at the same time?!
