I have used sheets for window treatments in the past. You could also make pillows. Sheets are an excellent way to get lots of yardage for sewing projects at minimal cost. If the sheet isn't to your liking you could stencil it to add a design you like.

old sheets make the best summer dresses, table clothes and even curtains...

Cut into strips,braid or crochet into a rug.My Nana used sew the strips together.I would wind them up into a big ball. She then used a large wooden crochet hook and did her magic. I still have some of those 38 year old rugs. Love them.

I cut them into 2 inch stips and crochet them into rag rugs.

I make holiday banners out of old solid color sheets. Cut them to size, paint with exterior white latex paint them go crazy with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine designs. Seal with acrylic spray. Inside or outside, they are fun decor items.

Stash it away and use it as a drop sheet for painting.

Old sheets (if not stained or ripped) make great backings for homemade quilts. If you don't quilt yourself, maybe you can find a local quilting group who'd appreciate them.

I have used mine for painting drop sheets and used my flannel top sheets at the ends to make crib sheets.

I've used them with batting to make comforters. simple sandwich two sheets and batting, sew and turn - then tuft with yarn.

So many things to do.....I have made a shower curtain, drapes, covered roll up shades, table scarfs, table runners, decorative pillows, decoupage furniture, accessories, lamp shades, wall outlet covers, plus recovered worn furniture all with sheets. So much material for the price, so many beautiful patterns. Good luck & have fun

Great ideas @Diane Blank ! I got rid of my bedskirts and now use flat sheets. They are easier to adjust and easy to clean. Some people use a fitted sheet over a box spring for a more tailored look.
