Earth Day 2011: Repurpose Your T-shirts

Posted on April 18, 2011June 3, 2025 by Leann Farmer

Earth Day 2011 is coming up this week – April 22nd, so I’ve been thinking about ways to reuse t-shirts whose fashion services are no longer required. As posted earlier in the blog – there are ways to juice up that old boxy t-shirt into a more flattering, girly garment, but some of us (me) aren’t too crafty or should even be trusted with scissors. So I dipped over to Etsy.com to see what the more talented humans have come up with in terms of repurposing and reusing t-shirts. Here are a few cool things I found:

Recycled T-shirt Scrubbers

Rugs Made From T-shirts

T-shirt yarn being woven into a guitar strap:

Dryer Sheet Replacement Sachets:

Dog Clothing:

Hey – if you’re not the crafty-type, most these folks take custom orders – and will accept YOUR t-shirts to purpose for your very own commissioned custom item. If you can’t do it – you can certainly hire one of these good people who can.



Get started with custom t-shirts.
