When school aprons become too small they can be given, if they are ruined, instead of throwing them away it is possible to recover them with creativity and transform the fabric into bags, cases, dresses for dolls and much more. Here are 6 DIY ideas from which to draw inspiration.
Bags
With the fabric of old aprons it is possible to create ideal bags for the snack, games or daily activities. With some seam and the addition of shoulder straps or handles, you can create original accessories, and customize them with the addition of buttons, patches or decorations made by the children.
Case
To make cases starting from the school aprons, he begins by cutting out a strip or rectangle of the desired measure from the fabric. Then fold the edges and sews to create a sort of “pocket” that can easily contain pencils, markers and other writing tools. Finally add a closure like a zip or a button.
Dolls for dolls
Can you sew? By cutting the apron into smaller pieces and tailored them, you can create simple dolls for dolls. The children will then be able to customize the clothes with scraps of fabric, buttons, tapes and other small details, giving life to a manual activity that combines creativity and recycling.
Bib
The fabric recovered from the old aprons can also be used to create practical bibs for infants. Cut a piece of apron, choose a reference model and sew on the edges, adding two laces on the back to close it.
Patchwork pillow
A patchwork made with school aprons and other fabrics allows you to combine different colors, textures and stories in a single creative artifact. To create a cover, cut the aprons and other fabrics in squares or rectangles of similar sizes, and assembles by cooking the various pieces together harmoniously.
Flags
Cut the fabric into triangles, finish the edges with a seam and add you by putting on a thread to create a flag. You can show it off on the occasion of birthdays or hang it in the bedroom as a decoration.
