One thing you may not know about me is that I’ve been wearing the same 6 or 7 t-shirts for the past… hm… 10 years.  I’m wearing one I got ten years ago right now, as I type.  It’s a vintage T-Shirt to begin with.  It’s not past its prime quite yet… And for days of raining and typing, its just perfect.

When things have outstayed their welcome in my home, I tend to hit the donation bin frequently.  Not everything is donatable though, as these 10 t-shirts will be not suitable for wear.  But… they will be suitable for a rag rug!

Today, let’s explore ways to turn old fabric into new art!!!

rag rugsWhile there are fancier rag rugs than others, even the most simplistic rug- made of old scarves, old scraps… old sweaters!… old t-shirts… things that can’t be worn any more but have the potential to become a fantastic rug- are fancy in themselves as they have your own creative energy mixed into them!

You can skip the rug and make twine that can become a macrame plant hanger (ooooh!) or even just ties for your curtains…

Or, following THESE steps from Make Haus,  you can stitch together rag rugs to make really durable and texturific pillows!

Something to do before you think of putting old fabric in the — gasp!!!- trash.

Eco-friendly, artfully brilliant and super-rewarding!  xoxo Dana
