Illustrated tutorial on how to recycle old T-shirts into super practical baskets
People who love handicrafts will never throw away old clothes easily, because old clothes, especially old cotton clothes, are excellent materials for recycling old materials! We can use old cotton T-shirts to make carpets, cushions, or various practical things, or make a small basket that we will introduce to you below. Doesn’t it have a very pastoral feel because of the color of the T-shirt? There are also light and dark, so we can match the colors ourselves and weave beautiful little baskets.
The first thing to do is to cut the old T-shirt into a long shape, and try to keep the width of the cuts consistent, so that the knitting will be more beautiful. Next, you can fold the strips in half and arrange the colors at intervals. Then arrange the strips lengthwise in the same way and weave them as shown in the picture. This will become the bottom of the basket. The size of this can be based on your needs. to make sure.
Next, you can use another color of cloth strips to weave the basket. Note that when weaving, the two colors are separated, one on top and one on the bottom. The reason why two colors of cloth strips are used in the previous step is for weaving here. It will be easier when. Next, proceed to the next row of knitting. At this time, another color of cloth strip is placed on top. Continue weaving. Finally, fold the end of the cloth strip inwards and fix it with needle thread. The final small basket is completed. Isn’t it very cute!
