What do i do with my old bed sheets?

Question

i have these old lime green bed sheets and i feels kinda wasteful just throwing them out but i don't know what to do with them. i'm not at all sewing-savvy so most crafts are probably out the window. any ideas???

Answer 1

give them to a needy family.

Answer 2

My old bed sheets color match my room so I folded them into a simply square and am using as a tablecloth for my nightstand.

Answer 3

you could save them and cut them into7x7 in. squares and sew them all together to start a quilt for someone or just rip them up into small rags for grease rags of some source.

Answer 4

I use my old sheets mostly for yard work; i pile all the trimmings, leaves and debris on it then drag it up to the road and dump it off the sheet to get picked up.  It's a lot easier than putting it in a wheelbarrow and you can move more stuff at once.  Also use them for covering the plants in the winter, and for painting.  Put them under heavy furniture to move it more easily.  They're very handy for lots of things!

Answer 5

Your local animal shelter would probably love to have them.  Most shelters have hard stone floors and will put old linens/quilts/pillows down for some of the older/younger animals.

Answer 7

I agree with some of the above and I have some ideas

- You could cut it and maby hem it (you don't have to hem it) and use it as a table cloth

- You could hang it as a curtin

- This is my favorite idea - you could cut them into 2 squares and make a tie pillow out of them

- Or donate them to goodwill

Answer 8

we save our old sheets for winter-time. We use them to cover our plants when it gets near freezing. We also use them as drop clothes when we paint.

Answer 9

Give them to charity, there are people out there who have no sheets.

Answer 10

if you only have one window in your room...put a curtain rod thru the loop in the top part of the sheet and make a curtain out if it...if it matches anyway.
