What to do with old bed linen: you don't have to throw it away

In any housewife's closet there will be a couple of pillowcases or sheets that have already outlived their usefulness.

If you can’t find the strength to throw them away, use the advice of the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, designer Yulia Tychino and give things a second life.

Laundry bag

An old faded sheet can serve as an excellent material for making a bag for collecting dirty laundry. Don't know where to find a place for the new product? A wall or door in the bathroom is perfect for this purpose, and the usual basket made of plastic or other material can be removed and free up space.

Kitchen towels

If some parts of the duvet cover are worn out or stained beyond repair, you still have whole parts, albeit small ones, at your disposal. Such pieces make beautiful towels for the kitchen.

Shopping bag

Instead of using unsustainable plastic bags, try going to the store with a cloth bag. They can be sewn from old, but more or less decent pillowcases.

Children's tent

An unnecessary sheet can come in handy if you have one or more growing children in your family, because with a slight movement of the hand it turns into an awning for a children's tent.

Curtains

Another practical and unusual method of recycling damaged bed linen is to create original patchwork curtains. Almost any old linen will do, regardless of its color and condition.
