One of my favorite things to do with my kids’ old clothes that are stained, too small and can no longer be worn is to cut the fabric into pieces and make tote bags or blankets out of them! They get a whole new life. Plus every time I look at them I have a reminder of how precious my little girls looked in those cute little outfits. They also love it when I cute their clothes down and make t-shirts or dresses for their dolls and stuffed animals.

I save all the spare buttons that come with clothes and my kids love to string them on necklaces or use them to make the faces on animals and people that they draw. They are also fun to use on good old-fashioned sock monkeys and other hand-sewn stuffed toys.

I like to use empty wine bottles as boot shapers for my knee high boots. They help to keep the boots standing tall while they are stored during the spring/summer months.

Talk about a super fun way to reuse old glass bottles! Not sure you can do this so easily at home but these are great everyday drinking glasses that have been made reusing old bottles so I wanted to share. Could make a great gift too! http://www.etsy.com/listing/38980591/yava-glass-recycled-boylans-pure-seltzer

I use old ice cube trays to organize earrings and other small jewelry pieces. It helps me to find want I’m looking for so much easier in the mornings.
