20+ Fun Ways For Recycling Old Sweaters Into Something Cool
Are you wondering what to do with the old sweaters that you don’t wear any more? Recycle them! Recycling old sweaters is not only fun, but also environmentally friendly. You reduce the amount of landfill by recycling.
Sweaters go out of style. They get holes. They shrink too small. And they wear and tear. Even they are not good for wearing, that doesn’t mean you have to dump them. You can give them new life by repurposing them.
I just love the idea of turning old sweaters into wonderful new things. There are so many cool things you can make. And I have at least half a dozen old sweaters in my closet. They are all good candidates for some cool new things. It is satisfying to see them getting a new life.
Fun Ways For Recycling Old Sweaters
I know you hate to just give away stuff too, if you know how to make something with them. So before throwing your sweaters into the trash can, consider these many ways you can recycle them. From throw pillows, socks, gloves, scarves, to lampshades, you can get plenty of use out of your good old clothes.
Some of these projects look so neat and cool. I even attempt to buy new sweaters to make them. However, it is against my philosophy of recycling. Therefore, grab an old sweater, pick your favorite project, and get the ball rolling.
