Stained curtains? No need to throw them away because with this method you can reuse them in creative ways.
Creative recycling should be taken into account , especially if there are fabrics that can be used in a different way. This is the example of stained curtains, which are often thrown away when, instead, they can be transformed into a thousand different things to try. The tailor’s method helps not only to rediscover the beauty of this fabric but also to have personalized accessories.
How to recycle stained curtains?
Stained curtains can be transformed into decorative elements or products to be used every day. The seamstresses’ method consists of recovering the intact fabric so as not to throw away the decorative accessory.
With the help of a sewing machine, it is possible to make sofa cushions, perhaps with a coloured part or with additional decorations. If the curtain is monochrome, you can apply inserts to the fabric, again creating a cushion cover.
If the material is rich and soft, you can make matching napkins. Not all fabrics are suitable for this purpose, but soft and colorful cotton is definitely worth considering.
You can also make tea towels from unused and stained curtains, which will be naturally dyed with turmeric to give it an exclusive boho touch.
Practical and original ideas.
Anyone with a lot of manual skills can make beautiful children’s clothes using the available fabrics. It is not easy and in this case it is the seamstresses who succeed in the enterprise: overall it is still a wonderful idea to put into practice.
When it comes to heavy fabrics, why not use them for curtains and elegant accessories like bags and hats? Unleashing your imagination and creativity allows you to create unique pieces.
With this method you can also apply Furoshiki, or a square of cloth to collect gifts or to embellish the furniture of the whole house. A Japanese method that refers to an ancient craft, now famous all over the world. A piece of cloth is taken and then tied to the gift to create an elegant and reusable package.
It is also possible to make small curtains for the kitchen, excluding as far as possible the completely stained part. In this case too, the help of a sewing machine is needed.
There is nothing more important than a gift, which is why many associations value the collection of fabrics and textiles – in good condition – for donations of various kinds. As you can see, any type of object or accessory can be made from a tinted curtain in an easy and fun way.
