How can I turn this:
Into this:
Or this?
This is a question I received awhile ago and since then, I have been trying to think of/ find ways to reuse old fleece jackets. Fleece is very handy – it is really warm, but after some time, it starts to not look all that great – but never fear, I have found some great ideas on how to prolong the life of a fleece and help with your cleaning and crafting creations, to boot.
- How can I Recycle This?, a great site based in the UK posed a similar question awhile ago and several people responded with pretty interesting ideas, including : using fleece as an insulator for frost-sensitive plants, as hot water bottle covers, rag rugs, dog blankets, bean bags, and cleaning cloths!
- If you are crafty with sewing, this site lists a couple of dozen suggestions (note that some of the links they list no longer exist)
- Baby Toys! (no sewing required!)
- Polar Fleece Hats (thanks, Martha!)
Do you have ideas on how to use old fleece jackets? I know there are hundreds of ideas out there. Please leave us a comment!
