What do you do with clothes that are no longer in use? For the most part, we either give it to our children or family members, or we donate it to people in need. However, there are certain items of clothing that you simply cannot let go of — and that is perfectly OK as it could contain happy memories that you want to keep with you. But instead of letting those clothing rot or gain cobwebs, why not turn them into something new and functional?
With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of 15 DIY upcycled clothing projects you can easily do!
