Transform used textiles into beautiful bunting and garlands (no sewing skills needed)

Your cat ruined your curtains? Cannot get those nasty stains out of tablecloth? Washing machine teared holes into your favourite summer maxi dress? Great! You are not lucky but blessed. WAIT, WHAT?

Well, just think for a moment – you now have a chance to transform your damaged textiles into the cutest bunting and garlands. And to be honest with you, absolutely anything made from thinner fabric can be used here even stuff like old beddings or cotton towels. Upcycling is the key, beautiful.

Don’t know how to sew?

No problem at all – I don’t think you need to. As long as you have a pair of scissors and can cut used textiles into triangle pieces, you will be fine. Then just attach those onto a string using hot glue.

Don’t have a hot glue gun?

You can always cut or hand rip your used textiles into long stripes aka ribbons and just tie them onto the string.

Just a reminder: you are a creator here and nothing is out of your reach. So, aim for the blue sky.
