In my never-ending quest for new ways to be frugal, I'm starting another frugal thread. In a minute I'll go look up the links for the previous ones and post them. If you have ideas for cheap and/or home-made Christmas gifts, let's hear them. It's time to be starting on those, if you haven't already. Any tips on ways to save money will be appreciated also!
I have accumulated a lot of old sheets over the past 30-35 years and have rarely been able to throw any out, so I'm trying to think of ways to reuse them. Here's a few I've thought of:
1) cut out pieces for quilts or use to back quilts with
2) cut out and sew into pillowcases
3) if there are solid color ones, cut and sew into bags to use for reuseable Christmas packaging
Also, if you use dryer sheets (I only use them in the winter and always cut them in half and use only a half at a time), keep your used ones and use them to dust with.
