Recycle clothes

When you no longer wear a piece of clothing don’t throw it away, cut all the buttons, zippers and belt loops so that you can use them in other projects later. To store the rest of the fabric, iron it to make it as smooth as possible and store it in a drawer or box specially designed for it.

These fabric scraps can be used for many things, such as:

• Pieces to complete quilts.
• Activities for children: cut and sew small pieces of fabric.

• Decorate bottles.
