Hi Selina, if the fabric coordinates with your home decor, you can make throw pillow covers out of it, or table runners.
Just decided to see if there were other ideas out there and located this info. Maybe some of the ideas will inspire you.

Hello Selina,
You could try Selling them on eBay etc. or privately, or Make Cushion Covers or Blinds or Bed Covers with the fabric. Any scraps could be used to make a patchwork quilt. Best wishes. You could of course donate them to a Charity of some kind too.

You could make them into reusable shopping bags, cloth napkins, table runners, or pillows.
Hi! If I have no other use for them, and they are in good condition I donate them. Stay safe!

Make table cloths, or use them for crafts
Hello -that could be a lot of yardage for reupholstering
Oh gosh, you could make pillow covers with them. skirt a table, cover old furniture or cut them up and make a quilt from the scraps! You could make placemats or aprons, too.
You could try and sell them just for use of the fabric. Or if you do sew - you could make pillow cases or doll clothes or other fun projects.
So many ideas! You could cover a headboard or use as a table runner?
Make them into pillow covers, table runners, table cloths, place mats
Donate them or give them away on FB marketplace
There are some good ideas here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMvFz8-R0Ls
These are some more ways you can repurpose old curtains: https://homehacks.co/ways-to-upcycle-old-curtains/
You could also use several different ways to update your curtains if you would still like to use them as window coverings: https://blog.kwikhang.com/how-to-update-curtains/
Post an ad in Craigslist under 'Free Items'. There are always folks without enough money to purchase curtains that still are in need of them.
If there is a college drama department/ amateur theatre nearby to where you live, they may be wanting to accept free donations, as fabric for costumes is always needed, but funds are usually low.
I would check with a shelter that helps re home people and donate them. The feeling of helping someone who has been beat up by life tops any project I can think of.
You can make pillows or other things out of them. You can definitely donate them, give them away, or trade.
I wrote a whole post on this that might help - https://chascrazycreations.com/shower-curtain-hacks-14/
Make porch chair cushions out of them. Donate them to local church flea market of community thrift store.
I have made duvet covers from curtains if the fabric is in good condition and I like the fabric.
Sell them.
