Combining statements about v neck t shirts, and apartment decor would seem crazy to most at first glance. The truth is that in the United States our penchant for over buying everything we use in our life is at an all time high. The tables are turning now, and people are becoming more practical and careful of what they spend their money on every payday. By using your old v neck t shirts for men, or any type of tee really, and converting these unused items into to repurposed decorations. The following ideas were gleaned from all type of sources on the web, books, and magazines. There are also “Green” forums online that you can peruse to find new and cool ideas on recycling just about anything in your home.
First off you can do the obvious and just use your old v-neck tees for dust rags, cleaning glass, and of course applying furniture, floor or car wax. Large adult size tees make great nightshirts for the little ones, of course, pet clothing is more popular than ever today, and some baby, toddler, or small children t-shirts can be used on Puddles the dog. For decorating purposes, you can make patchwork dinning room table clothes, placemats, and even cloth napkins from your unused pile of shirts. This does not mean that you have to be tack and use an assortment of colors one project, as you can run down to the Salvation Army store and by several in the same color and type of fabric for probably fifty cents a piece.
Even some creative apartment dwellers are making matching towels, and wash clothes from tee material, especially people with very curly hair, for some reason the cotton tee material does not make their hair frizzy when using them dry off after bathing. People are also making elegant potpourri, and scented sachets for decorative, and aromatherapy purposes. Just take material and cut up pieces to make small pillows, insert your scented materials, and either Velcro, or sew them shut. The add some decorative lace, or designs with clothing paint, and you have something that you might have paid $20.00 for in the store, but made it from v neck t shirts that you were just going to throw out eventually.
