When an article of clothing is worn or out of style, use it over again to create hip and fun new style. Check out these free projects to renew your wardrobe with recycled DIY fashion.
1. Make a Sock Wristband
Socks get holes in them all the time. They also have a great ability to lose thier match. Making a wristband puts these lone and torn socks to good use.
2. Sew a Placemat Purse
There are so many cute cloth placemats at the thrift store that don't quite complete a full set. Put these to good use. Making a purse out of a placemat takes just a few minutes.
3. Make a Belt Out of Neck Ties
A belt made of neck ties is an easy way to add a funky flair to any outfit. They have been customized and worn by stars such as Liv Tyler. Ties come in so many different patterns and colors, so it’s easy to get creative with this one.
4. Turn a Pair of Jeans into a Booty Bag
Known as the ‘booty bag’, it already comes with lots of pockets to hold just about everything. This is a great way to recycle old pants or shorts into something new and chic.
5. Make a Purse Out of T-Shirts
You are just two t-shirts away from this stretchy bag. Logo t-shirts can be used, or go with two contrasting colors for a sharp look. This is a great project for DIY fashion beginners.
