How to Make T-Shirt Yarn
I'm making a circular rag rug by cutting the t-shirts into 1 inch strips, sewing the strips together to create a giant "yarn" ball, and crocheting a circle - lots of info on Pinterest; here's the pattern I used: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/342273640424320519/
I use mine for rags and I do lots of cleaning and woodworking, so I use them often.
Cut in strips and make rag rugs. Cut and make your own disinfectant wipes, see google on these ideas.
If they are cool tshirts recycle into tote bags or throw pillow covers. If not, cut into strips and make thick braided ropes as dog toys. We do the latter and donate to shelters.
If you don’t want to keep them as T shirts, cut them into squares and use them for cleaning rags.
I've heard of t's being made into a quilt if the shirts held particular memories, like places they'd been to.
I cut them up to fit the bottom of my Swiffer and use these instead. Not only do I save a ton of money, but the soft cloth doesn't streak or scratch my floors. I also use them to spot clean my carpets when I have a pet accident. I put an oxygenated cleaner on them and blot until the mess comes up out of the rug.
