Repurposing old baby clothes and products for your child’s dolls are a great way to not only save costs in buying doll outfits but can also give those favourite products that your baby didn’t get to wear as much as you would’ve liked a new life. Depending on the doll and the size of clothing, only a bit of sewing is required.

 

Wall Art

Wall art is another sustainable, unique form of repurposing that can transform a room. We take pride in our prints and their versatility, and creating a room based around it is such a great place to start in decorating. All you would need is to decide on the design e.g. Butterflies, birds or rocket ships. Then stencil and cut out the design on the chosen clothing and use fabric glue to hold your pieces to a canvas, and there you have a beautiful piece of artwork with timeless prints!

If you can’t find the right person to hand them down to then donating no longer used clothes and wraps is another sustainable option. Donating is a great idea to help families in need.
