+ add your ownI may have read the bit about the rugs somewhere...
Dish rags and/or cleaning rags. Something nudges that rugs might be a good use also, in some cases.
fantastic ideas! love the skirt one!
All the ways to use things you don't wear or don't fit anymore and love (or don't love depending) is great. More for things you don't want to wear as it is but don't want to get rid of.Thank you so much for sharing the ways of RE-USING!
Thank-you for the great suggestions...always looking for extra bags and have plenty of old tees:)
