New Ways to
Use Old T-Shirts
Every row, column, and mini-grid
must contain the letters C O L D.
Use your logic.
You may be tempted to toss out old T-shirts that are stained, too
small, or just not in style anymore. Before you do, consider what
else you can do with them, whether it’s wearing them in new
ways, creating new uses, or making sentimental keepsakes.
Here are a few ways to reuse old T-shirts:
1. Tie-dye them. Just because a shirt has some spots doesn’t
mean you have to throw it away. If the stain is dark, use darker
rather than lighter colors, so the stain is not as obvious. Find
directions and ideas for designs online by typing “how to tie dye
shirt designs” into your Web browser bar.
3. Make it artwork. Say one of your old T-shirts has a neat design. A great way to use that design is to frame it for your room.
Cut the arms, collar, and back out of the shirt. Then frame the
front of the shirt so the design is centered in the frame. Finish
framing, hang it in your room, and enjoy!

2. Make a quilt. Some T-shirts have sentimental value. Retain
that value by turning them into a quilt. Press a lightweight ironon stabilizer onto the back side of the part of the shirt you want
to keep. Cut that part of the T-shirt into a square. Stitch the
squares together in rows and columns. Add batting and backing
to complete the quilt as usual. Find instructions online by typing
“how to make a quilt from T-shirts” into your Web browser bar.

If you toss a T-shirt out with only a glance, you’re
wasting money. When you make something new
from it, you give it a fresh look and save money,
which is a smart move.
