UPCYCLE YOUR OLD CLOTHES After your seasonal closet purge, you may find you have clothes you love but that no longer fit in your wardrobe for one reason or another. Instead of donating them, consider upcycling them. All it takes is a little patience, creativity and effort. • Old t-shirts and sweaters can be turned into covers for your throw pillows. The well-loved fabric will be soft, eco-friendly and unique to you. • Scrunchies (fabric-covered elastic hair ties) can be made out of pieces of old clothes or random fabric scraps. • Worn flannel shirts can be sewn together to create a small quilt for your child, pet or to adorn your favourite reading chair. • Socks, scarves and fuzzy sweaters can be repurposed into cute little stuffed animals, which you can gift to friends and family this holiday season. Patterns are abundant online. A few other ideas that you can look for patterns online include: DIY t-shirt pockets, tote bags, heating pads, pet toys or rugs.
