FIVE T-Shirt Upcycle Ideas

Share with your friends?

Whatever to do with all those t-shirts you, your kids, and hubby have? Whenever I have a big decluttering, there’s always quite a few t-shirts headed to the donation box.

Here are a few ways you can upcycle all those old t-shirts into something fun!

This is my daughter’s favorite dress.  She practically lives in it.  She calls it her football dress.

 T-shirts into Braided Sundress

Now this is probably my most favorite thing I have ever made.  It’s actually made from white t-shirts, like undershirts my husband wears.  I tiedyed them, and then I cut them all up.  She just outgrew this one, so I’m going to get to make another one soon!

Tie Dye Bustle SunDress

This similar to a pillowcase dress, except it’s made with a t-shirt.  I just loved this cowboy t-shirt I found at the thrift store.  It’s full of sequins and rhinestones.

T-shirt into Chic Sundress

This is actually a no sew project.  Did you know you can turn a t-shirt into yarn? It’s pretty simple.  I use these trivets all the time, even as hot pads to pull things out of the oven.

T-shirt Trivets

This is probably the easy dress you could make.  These work great as little nightgowns, as a tunic for a teen/tween, or a cute little “hipster” dress.
