Re-purpose your old sweater: turn it into a scarf

From sweater to scarf that’s cool.

How about jeans & T-shirt what can we make out of them?

Thank you so much for your share.
Your idea is cool and environmental,I learn a lot from it.

Excess can be knitted into matching socks and beret too!

very nice

Reknitting is merely going back to the way we lived in the 50′s in the UK after the war. I can clearly remember as a child standing there helping Mum to undo a sweater/cardigan so that the wool could be washed and then reused to make yet another sweater/scarf or pair of gloves for one of the 5 children in the house.
My sisters and I had turns holding the big skeins of wool on our hands whilst Mum carefully unpicked the garment.

Why has it taken us so long to get back to the frugal ways that were a total necessity after the war when there was a ongoing shortage of everything for years. For too long we have been a wasteful society – you only have to look at the goods people dump on the nature strip ready for a council clean up to see what sort of throw away society we have become.

We must ALL care for the environment!! Do the right thing – use, reuse and never waste.

Please have more images of this for us to have a model or examples……Thank You

You can use your old towels as a doormat, and use your old socks to clean up oil spills. You can use your plastic items such as leaky bucket, as a potted plant. You can use your old bulbs as home decoration with colorful paint, you can use the grass that you cut from your garden as a natural fertilizer, in a way internalize it into the ground along with your wet garbage such as the remains of vegetables from the kitchen . If we use a moment to think about other uses of the goods which we will dispose of, we’ll find our creative side to make these items become more useful and more importantly we can reduce environmental pollution because of waste that we produce every day.

You can use your old clothes as cleaning the kitchen and the floor, or you can cut it and make it as a Barbie doll clothes. or you can give it to poor people who lack clothes.

bags…

when we were young my mom saves our old, worn out or small clothes, then during summer time we will turn them into doormats by cutting them small then sewn together or we will make them into pillows by separating the fibers and putting it into an old cloth made into a pillow case.

jeans can be pass on to relatives or those who needed most…it can be made into a bag also…t-shirts can be pass on  also and it can became a sando, the sleeves, can be a rag…no trash!
