Many of us are used to keeping things that we no longer use, that are damaged or that we don't like too much, in case we ever need it again.
This is often the case with bedding, which we literally let sleep in the back of a closet.
But why keep it, if you don't use it anymore? The logic would be to throw away what has become unusable, or to donate.
But wait! You can give almost anything a second life! It’s practical, economical, ecological and time-consuming, especially in this period of confinement. ;-)
Quickly go check the shelves from your wardrobe! Take out your abandoned sheets and see how you can transform them easily.
1. PJ pants
It is the essential item for everything confined! Instead of ordering new comfortable pants on the web, simply make them with the soft fabric of the bed sheets!
2. Pillows & comforter cover
Maybe your sheets weren't suitable for your new mattress, but if you find them pretty, you can use them to decorate your bed otherwise!
3. Protect the garden
For cold nights, a sheet can be very practical on the gardening area.
4. Beach playpen
A fitted sheet with objects to hold the corners and that's it! Baby can play on its defined territory
5. Dogs toys
By braiding old sheets, you can make Doggie very happy!
6. Teepee
A little corner to read, play with stuffed animals, dream of a better world ... Superb
7. Reusable bag
What a great idea! This kind of bag is always practical and when you want to respect the planet, it is better to recover the materials instead of buying new bags.
8. Pillow for pets
It is known, our animals like to snuggle up in our sheets. So we invite them to lie on their own cushion, made with foam and an old sheet!
9. Table napkins
A very simple sewing project; we cut napkins and sew the edges. Easy!
10. Laundry bag
For the dirty clothes of young adults who will one day return to do laundry at dad and mom, or for the dirty clothes to bring back from trip (because we will one day be able to travel again), a bag formed by a sheet and a rope can be very practical!
11. Quilt
If you have sheets of different colors, here is a cool idea!
12. Hamac
Another way to sleep in your sheets!
13. Wall decorations
Scraps of sheets, a little embroidery and imagination is all you need!
14. Pillow case
Is there a small hole or stain on your favorite sheet? Keep it to make a soft and stylish pillowcase!
15. Apron
It will get dirty anyways! Don't buy new!
16. Summer dress
No one will imagine that your pretty summer dress comes from your old bedding!
17. Carpet
Pretty and convenient for the front door entrance.
18. Bathrobe
And if you want an interesting lining, you can use bath towels!
Which one is your favourite idea?
