Upcycle clothing that babies and children have grown out of with these six clever and fun ways to give them a second useful life. Kids clothes receive a tough workout and are often not fit to hand on to someone else. With each idea, you will find a "learn how to" link that takes you to the creative blogger who shows you how to do it!
Make clothes for dolls
Not only is this a great way to re-purpose baby and kids' clothes, it's fun for kids to put the same clothes on their dolls that they themselves used to wear! Learn how here >
Upcycle shirts into a bib
A bib made from upcycled kids clothing is easy and practical too, and a great way to save money. Learn how here >
Create a patchwork memory quilt
If you have a lot of baby or kids' clothes that are now too small, turning them into a memory quilt is a lovely way to keep them in your life. It's also not as difficult as it might look! Learn how here >
Cover up stains on clothes with a patch
Do you have a piece of clothing that has a not-so-inconspicuous stain or rip in it? Cover the stain with a cute patch cut from another piece of clothing that is no longer being worn. Simply cut out the shape of a favourite character and sew it over the top of the stain or rip.
Make mittens out of their favourite warm clothes
These mittens are adorable, aren't they. This is a great way to re-purpose warm clothes that have been outgrown, helping to keep baby safe and protecting them from their growing fingernails. Learn how here >
Turn a onesie into a stuffed animal
If your baby has grown out of their favourite onesie, but it is too sentimental to give away, why not turn it into a stuffed toy and get many more years of love and use.
Being resourceful and re-purposing items that may otherwise end up in landfill is something we are passionate about here at Biome. Plus, re-using will inevitably help save money too!
