Upcycle a Dress Shirt into a Baby Bib

If you have a baby, creating a little bib for your kiddo would be a great idea, which will look like a shirt and tie. In order to sew a baby bib, you need a flannel fabric in a funky color and print for the bib front and coordinating color for the bib back. Once you’re sewed this bib, your baby will look like a smart person in a cute outfit.

Macrame-Style Wall Hanging

Using your never-ending supply of men’s shirt remnants and an ornamental tree branch from your yard, you can make a Macrame-style wall hanging.

Key Chains

The keychain is the quintessential upcycle. Make use of every scrap of fabric on the floor of your craft area since you don’t need much to create something special.

Wrapped Clothes Hangers

Want to give your ordinary plastic or wire hangers a better look and feel? Try wrapping them in strips of a dress shirt. You may consider choosing complementary colors or experimenting with different ways to wrap the hangers for an enhanced aesthetic.

Upcycle a Dress Shirt into a Chapstick Holder

Try creating a tiny chapstick holder with a blue cuff. The concept is clever and works well for a chapstick. You can fasten it to a key chain or perhaps to the interior of your wallet with a loop. This eliminates the need to dig around in your bag to find it.

Bookmarks

The fabric from the shirts can be used to create two different kinds of bookmarks. One is made of the blue shirt’s cuff corners, while the other is a textile scrap bookmark with a striped pattern. Both of these bookmarks are easy to create.

Upcycled Top

One of the easiest ways to upcycle a dress shirt is to turn it into a different style of top. We absolutely love this cute, cropped drawstring shirt.
