Putting old T-Shirts to Work
Old, stained tired t-shirts are relegated to the rag pile in my house. I use them for cleaning, painting or anything that creates a mess. I came across a new use for these neglected tees today and that is to turn them into twine to support garden plants.To make t-shirt twine, simply start at the bottom and cut a continuous spiral all the way up. You can vary the width depending on what your project is.
The knit of the tees gives a lot of stretch for tying and also for the plants while growing. Making your own twine saves resources as well a trip to the store. Finally, once the season is over, 100% cotton t-shirt material can be tossed into the compost bin.
