Do You Recycle Clothes?

As I am a person who loves crafting and recycling, I thought it would be a great idea to share with you some places I visit and some ideas for recycling clothes. Sometimes we use a dress or shirt for a couple of times and we just do not like them anymore for whatever reason -they do not fit well, do not look nice, etc…
Take a look at this shirt:
Can you believe this is a man’s shirt recycled? This shirt looks adorable!!! So creative.

And this Necklace? How fashionable is this? You can totally use one like this during any season of the year. And you can make one yourself out of old shirts.
In times when the economy is tough, recycling clothes sure sounds like a good idea. Plus, it’s a lot of fun for those who love crafting! 
A few sites I like:

***I’d be SO happy to tell you where I got that man’s recycled shirt photo from. But I forgot. I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot to write down the website. If you know where this image is from, please let me know to give the well deserved credit.

The shirt recon is fabulous.
Check out http://www.personalcloset.com! It’s this new website where you can sell and buy clothing with other people and it’s absolutely free!! I just listed a bunch of stuff from Citizens of Humanity to J Crew….I’m so excited to have found a place where I can recycle my clothing for free! and you can too, so go take a look!

And thanks for the comment, Heather. Your website is fabulouuuuuus! =)
I would love to know where the mens halter shirt is from especially if there is a tutorial
Hi Kristina!
I’d love to know too. As I said on the post, I forgot where it is from. I only remember it is this nice store where husband and wife work together on recycling clothes. I will try to find it again and post here as soon as I find it (I’ve been searching without luck).
But there was no tutorial. You gave me an idea, though. I’ll try to make one myself and will post the tutorial here in a week or so (unfortunately I’m too busy to do anything before that).
Thanks for the comment
Thanks for linking to Dollar Store Crafts! How cool!
