1. DIY Repurposed Sheet Crib Mobile
If you have a baby on the way, or know someone who does, you can repurpose those old colorful sheets into this amazing crib mobile. The mobile hangs from an embroidery hoop and while it does require a bit of sewing, the end result is gorgeous and so colorful – depending of course on what sheets you are using. This would be a great idea for old crib sheets too – you could make your mobile character themed!

2. Easy Braided Dog Toy
You can easily turn an old sheet into this fun braided dog toy, which your little pooch will love. You just cut the sheet into strips and then braid several strips together at once. This is much easier than it sounds and you end up with a wonderful toy that is strong enough for your doggie to chew on and pull without tearing it up. If you have more than one dog, use a couple of sheets and make them all a handmade dog toy!

4. Easy DIY Curtains
You can turn a couple of twin sheets into beautiful curtains with just a few additional supplies and about an hour or so of time. If you just can't find the curtains that you want to match your bedding, but you have sheets in the right color, turn those sheets into the curtains that you need. This is also an excellent way to get some great themed curtains for kids' rooms from old sheets that have designs or characters that may not be available any longer.

6. Repurposed Sheet Chunky Headband
I love this headband – not only is it chunky, which is my favorite type of headband, it's decorated with an old sheet. You can do this by simply cutting your sheet fabric and using fabric glue to hold it over a large headband. This is such a unique look and if you don't really want to DIY the look, you can get this one on Etsy. The scraps are sewn on to make them really sturdy.

7. Creative Fabric Gift Wrap
You can use up old sheets and give your gifts a little extra touch when you use that fabric for gift wrap. This is a great way to give all of your gifts a little country touch, too. You can either cut scraps from your sheets and give gifts a quilted look with different designs or wrap them in a larger piece of fabric and tie off with a burlap bow or ribbon. There are so many ways that you can incorporate old sheets into your gift giving!

8. Repurposed Sheets Into Fabric Covered Hangers
You know those old metal hangers – the ones that get rusty after a bit and tend to warp and bend? Did you know that you can cover those hangers in fabric? Not only is this a great way to put those old sheets to use, it's also a wonderful way to protect your clothing from rust and to keep your hangers functional for a much longer period of time. Just cut your sheets into strips and then wrap those strips around your hangers.

Those colorful and floral designed old sheets would make the most beautiful bracelets, don't you think? You can turn those sheets into the most wonderful bangles and this is a quick and easy project – and one that would make a wonderful gift for someone special. Just take those plastic bangles that you can get from the Dollar Store (for less than a dollar each in most cases) and cover them with strips that you cut from your sheets. Glue them in place with fabric glue and you're making your very own fashion statement.

10. Simple And Quick DIY Laundry Bag
Laundry is definitely not my favorite household chore. It's not even second on the list, but it is something that needs to be done – daily in my house. I really love this DIY laundry bag, that would make doing laundry so much easier. You can make one of these for every bedroom in the house – from an old sheet – and then just carry that bag to the laundry room as you do laundry from each bedroom. It can hang on the back of the door so it's out of the way, too.

Just cut the sheets into squares and mix and match all you want to make your own design. This is why I love quilting. No design is wrong and you can make each quilt unique. If you have an upcoming wedding or baby shower, a quilt is a wonderful gift and you can use those old sheets to make it!
12. Repurposed Sheet Spring Dress
Turn a lovely floral or otherwise light colored sheet into a cool and sleek dress that is perfect for spring. Take your favorite spring dress pattern and then just use an old sheet for the material. If you already have a pattern and you already have a sheet to use, you can make your own gorgeous little dress for spring and it won't cost you a penny. Plus, the lightweight material of the sheet is perfect for warmer weather.

13. DIY Embroidery Hoop Wall Art
Those old sheets combined with a few embroidery hoops and some imagination will give you stunning décor for any bedroom. I love this idea for the nursery. You just put pieces of your sheets inside the embroidery hoops to display them. It's perfect if you have some themed or character based sheets or you can actually embroidery names or anything else on the sheets – they're in the hoop after all.

14. Fun Outdoor DIY Tents
Summer is nearly here and that means kids outside playing – which we parents generally love, right? You do however, have to make sure that your little ones are safe from sunburn, which is where these fun DIY tents made from sheets can come in. Not only will they keep the sun away, they're super fun for kids to play in. You use a plastic hula hoop, which you can get from the Dollar Store for under $5, and then just drape a sheet across it. It's so easy to make and kids will have hours of fun playing in their little hideaways.

15. Updated Dresser From Repurposed Sheets
I love the look of this little dresser. If you've got a dresser to redo, or you just want something really different for a nursery or kid's room, using those old sheets to redo the dresser is a wonderful idea. Just cut the sheets into large strips to fit the front of your drawers and then use glue and Mod Podge to hold everything together. This is a great look for a baby's room or anywhere that you want to add a little uniqueness.
