From rag rugs to wall art featuring your old clothes, there are no limits to the things you can do with the clothes you no longer wear.
Clothing is one of the easiest things to upcycle. With a little vision and imagination, you can transform just about any type of clothing into something new and exciting.
TURN YOUR JERSEY INTO SOCKS
Who doesn’t love a snug pair of socks? With the sock monster always lurking, replacing socks feels like a never-ending task. Instead of buying new ones, get creative and repurpose your old jerseys into cosy socks.

MAKE A REUSABLE SHOPPING BAG OR ONE-OF-A-KIND TOTE BAG
Turn those unwanted tees into a stylish shopping bag or tote. Cut off the sleeves and neckline and stitch the bottom hem. Add handles from extra fabric or sturdy ribbon. It’s a fun, eco-friendly project that will make that unplanned grocery run more fashionable.
@bite Single use bags? Out. ❌ Reusable totes? In. ✅ Here’s how to make one yourself with just an old T-shirt and some scissors.

FRAME OLD CLOTHES AS ART
Sometimes we hold on to clothes for sentimental reasons, even when we know we’ll never wear them again. Instead of letting them gather dust in the wardrobe, turn them into beautiful wall art. Frame those special pieces and inject a touch of nostalgia into your home décor.

TURN YOUR RAGS INTO A RUG
Give your old jerseys, dresses and leggings a new lease of life by transforming them into a vibrant rag rug. Cut the fabric into thin strips and weave them together. Not only will the rug be bursting with personality, but it will also be easy to clean – just throw it in the washing machine and hang it out to dry.
