Cozy Ottoman Made from T-shirts


"This is an ottoman/ floor "pouf" that I made this summer before coming to college. I had too many t-shirts and needed a way to get rid of them. So I turned the shirts into yarn by cutting them and came up with a way to knit/crochet them together. I filled it with the rest of the scraps from those t shirts and some old towels. In total it took 20 cotton t shirts to make and a few weeks of work!" - Genevieve P.

Chopsticks into Plantsticks

A simple fix elevated my plant's life, quite literally. I've always hesitated before throwing away wooden chopsticks. They are perfectly good pieces of wood and there are sure to be many uses for them hidden right under my nose. As I was gazing out my window, I noticed my plant was looking a bit deflated and suddenly I had an idea.  I decided to make a lattice so that my plant could stand tall and now it's looking healthier than ever. -Tiffany T.

Memory Blanket from T-Shirts

Customizable Shelving Units Made From Cardboard Boxes!

Instead of throwing out old boxes, you can create really cool storage units out of them. Even if the boxes have missing lids or holes in them, you can turn them on their sides and still be able to use them. Just make sure the boxes you use are sturdy and you're good to go! Thank you Teresa W. for your awesome idea!
