This is a fun idea found on savedbylovecreations.com The website lists 50 tutorials for Reusing, or Upcycling, t-shirts. I loved this idea so much that I'm going to make a bigger one! For the exact tutorial, click the link.

Materials Already On-Hand: Project Cost: $0 (this time)
9-10 shirts
1 XL t-shirt
scissors
measuring tape
a lot of time
The XL shirt was an old t-shirt of my Hunny's. It was on its way to the trash...now it has been Renewed and Reused! (and we no longer have to look at the ugly stains on it!)
The finished product included a teal shirt raided from the garage sale pile. The colors don't match ANYTHING in our home decor, but I love its spunky textures. Its used as an accent rug on my side of the bed.
Notice the different textures. In addition to plain t-shirts or cotton shirts I also included a ribbed sweater, the lace from two camisoles, and the hems of all the shirts.
