Upcycled Fabric Craft Ideas

| |

Our thrifty craft ideas continue (we have LOTS of Recycled Craft Ideas here on Red Ted Art). Earlier this month we shared our Cardboard Box Craft ideas with you and now it is time for some Fabric Craft Ideas. Clearly you can use ANY fabric going… but I love nothing better than upcycling those old worn shirts or hole-y tights – i.e. the things you cannot giveaway anymore. The one thing to remember about upcycling fabrics though, is that if the fabric really is TOTALLY worn out, then your resulting craft won’t look as nice either. I do think it is worth having a pile for “washing rags”  or “stuffing” vs a pile for “crafts”. Make sure your old clothes still look nice overall!
