Have you ever wanted to give a special present to someone without going shopping? Have you ever wondered what to do with the numerous things you have and don't need? Trashing, recycling or giving away old stuff was no longer an option?
I have always admired patch work art but never understood why there is a need to cut a large piece of cloth only to sew it again. More logical would seem to me taking old clothes that have no use and create a patch work table cloth or a cover. Although I know little about it, was not that the original way how patch work was born? I would assume so.
I took up the challenge of creating a present without the need of buying anything new. Stuff that I had no use for were the ingredients.
Here is the result after a few hours work. A big smile of a 5 year old!
So how about getting rid of your "trash" by upcycling it into Christmas presents? Here are some ideas. Remember, the challenge is to make use of the old stuff. Buying things is the easiest thing to do!
