Chances are, if you’re anything like me, you probably have a collection of clothes you’re kids have outgrown that you don’t want to get rid of. My kids have t-shirts from kindergarten signed by all their classmates, t-shirts from camp, t-shirts they got as gifts from grandparents who travel, etc. This week, the editor of the magazine that I work for shared a wonderful DIY project that immediately made me think of those shirts. This simple DIY project turns old t-shirts into throw pillows.
I love the idea of turning t-shirts into useable decor pillows. They could be used as accent pillows in the kids’ rooms, the play room or the family room so instead of taking up space in the closet where no one gets to see them, they become unique, one of a kind accent pieces that you showcase in your home.
As your children get older, the pillows can become a great keepsake of their own childhoods that they can take with them as they grow up and move out. Pillows made from your favorite baby clothes could become accent pillows in their own baby’s nursery for example.
T-shirt pillows are also a great way to display shirts of your own. For example – if you’re a music fan – you probably have a collection of concert memorabilia that includes concert tickets, concert posters, tour t-shirts and the like. You can create a unique family room that shares your love of music without spending a fortune by displaying tickets and posters as artwork and turning tour t-shirts into throw pillows. For sports fans, a collection of old team jerseys from your favorite team or your own game days will make your game room ready for the next big game day! For the travel enthusiast, t-shirts collected from different places you have visited become pillows that tell the story of your adventures.
