Genius Ways To Give Old Bed Sheets New Purpose Around Your Home
By RIA BHAGWAT
Protect Garden
Cover the garden with a bed sheet at night to protect plants in winter. Secure it around the edges using heavy items and elevate it above your plants using arches.
Quilt
Turn old sheets into a patchwork quilt. Use cotton batting as a foundation, then cut about 40 10-by-10-inch squares of different fabrics and bind them with additional fabric.
Wall Tapestry
Cut off any uniquely designed bed sheet with a straight edge and pin or use command strips to attach it to your wall. Add string lights around it to enhance the look.
Drawstring Bag
Cut the seams out of your sheet, then cut out two 16-by-14-inch rectangles. Next, place them over one another and sew the bottom and sides shut.
Sew a flap at the top for the drawstring channel and put jute twine or a long piece of leftover fabric through the channel. Add wooden beads to the ends and knot the ends.
Dinner Napkin
Select sheets that can match your tablecloth, then cut small squares to be used as napkins. For better results, fold in and stitch each side of the square's frame.
