Interior decor from old clothes

1.Hang / put on public display

Grandma’s felt hat on the mirror in the hallway or a kimono brought from Japan, casually thrown over the screen in the bedroom, can become a wonderful interior decoration, and boots – a floor vase for a bouquet of dried flowers (see photo). On the list of eye-catching gizmos – baby rompers and shoes – they will cause a smile of tenderness and awe, not only among your parents.

2. Create an exposure

Several vintage items can be combined and positioned behind glass – on a shelf or in a closet. The brighter and more original shoes, clothes and accessories – the more delight your collection will cause among guests. And you just have to make excuses: “I was just going to throw it out,” and listen in response to exclamations of protest and compliments to your invention.

3) upholster your headboard or chairs

A pretty dress with bold patterns or a fluffy floral skirt can be used to transform your bedroom or living room. To make a soft headboard for a bed, you will need: furniture board, foam rubber, furniture stapler and a little imagination. You can also cover a coffee table or chairs, or cut a piece of fabric to fit the countertop and press down on top with glass.

4. Sew a decorative pillow

Absolutely any thing is suitable for creating a decorative pillow: sweaters and blouses, jeans and skirts. However, the most current trend today is knitted patterns and embroidery. So get your old sweaters, scarves and Indian blouses out of the closet.

5. New life of old accessories

Cut off bows, pompons and roses and sew them to decorative pillows or curtains, a vintage belt can be effectively fastened to the back of a chair, and old wrist watches or buttons can be glued to the handles of a dresser or cabinet …

This idea, as you understand, can be developed indefinitely.

6.Have a patchwork!

Even miniature children’s things are suitable for creating large canvases using the patchwork technique. Cut old T-shirts, sundresses, trousers into squares and triangles and sew them into colorful blankets, bedspreads, napkins and even curtains.

Potholders for the kitchen, napkins-coasters for hot dishes, covers for mobile phones and iPods, bags, wallets … The main thing here is creativity and the presence of a sewing machine.

8. Insulate … vases and glasses

One of the fashion trends in design is knitted covers on interior items. Cut off the sleeves of an old sweater and “insulate” a glass vase, a teapot, a pencil holder or a bowl for cereals – winter mood is guaranteed for your kitchen!

9.Rose skating

The hand does not rise to throw away the lonely gloves left without a pair? There is a better idea – a “shaggy” rug or a funny “fur” chair will come out of multi-colored gloves sewn onto the fabric with an overlap.

10.Fashionable lampshade

It is easy to create an unusual lampshade from an old dress or even … a collection of unnecessary sunglasses – just fix them on a wire frame. And along the fringed edge, you can hang a collection of old earrings – a super hot lamp in vintage style is ready!
