What are some creative ways to upcycle thrifted items?

You can turn old t-shirts into tote bags, or use glass jars as stylish storage containers. What items do you have in mind?

I have some old picture frames and a few sweaters.

You could paint the picture frames for a fresh look or use the sweaters to create cozy pillow covers. Would you like more details on either project?

Yes, tell me how to make pillow covers from sweaters.

First, cut the sweater to the desired size, then sew or use fabric glue to seal the edges. Insert a pillow form, and you're done!

That sounds easy! Any tips for choosing the right sweater?

Look for sweaters with interesting patterns or textures, and ensure they’re not too thick to make sewing easier.
