Creating Exciting Diy Decor Items With Old Bedsheets

Coming home to a warm bed with your favourite fresh and new bed sheets can be a mood changer for many of us. Many times, the good quality sheets get so soft over time that even if their colour fades, we don't feel like throwing them. 

For everyone who relates to this feeling, we have something for you. Here are six DIY projects for you to reuse that favourite bed cover to create beautiful home decor items. This will leave your living room looking creative and colourful and not forget the fun you'll have while creating these DIY home décor items. 

Curtains

It's time to use those old bedsheets and turn them into beautiful curtains. It is also one of the most favourite and quickest ways to reuse the covers. Cut them to fit your windows, and hang them carefully.

This will brighten up your room with various patterns and colours. When you go to buy curtains, it can turn into an expensive affair. This is a free and easy technique to get good curtains. If your bed sheets are made of polyester, then you can also use it as a bathroom curtain.

Playing Tent

Nothing amuses a kid more than playing in his tent. Not only will it make your kid happy but also add liveliness to otherwise dull kids' room. All you need is some few sticks, your old bedsheet, and lots of cushions. 

You can even have a mini photo shoot of your kid playing around the tent and create some memories!

Lampshades

Add a homey touch to your table lamp by giving it its vibrant lampshade. You'll have to measure the fabric that you'll need to cover the table lamp, then with the help of some pins and adhesive glue, stick the lampshade properly.

You can keep changing the lampshades from time to time according to your mood and vibe. 

Dining Table Accessories

The number of places you can use a piece of fabric on a dining table is endless. Whether it is for cocktail napkins, table mat or tablecloth, you can cut the sheet into the different shapes and of the size you need. You can also use the pillow covers that come with these bedsheets to create a set. 

By giving it a lining, you're set to throw your dinner party!

Apron

You can bid goodbye to messy kitchen clothes with this handy DIY for aprons. If it's a cotton sheet, it can also be easily washed, and the stains can be removed. Try using darker shades of colours for an apron as kitchen stains will get highlighted on lighter shades like white or pink.

You can cut out the fabric through cut-outs that you can either draw or will find online. 

Design a Tote Bag

Now we all know how bad plastic is for our environment. In such times, whether we go for grocery shopping or vegetable shopping, it is best to use reusable bags. What's better?

You can easily create this tote bag through your bed sheet and make the handles from the pillow cover too. You can also seal the bag through a velcro sticker. 

When you try buying these home decor online, you'll come across exorbitant prices for them. Why not save on money and take care of our environment by reusing our old bed sheets? 

Besides these items, you can also create wall decoration items, ironing board covers, toys for kids and dresses or tops for yourself. Now that you've reused the old sheet let's look at buying fresh, good quality bedding. Check out Portico for quality and pretty bedsheets.
