Recycling old clothes in your free time is a fun thing to do as we get to unleash the childlike innocence within us. It is a saviour for our environment too as the production of a single clothing article requires gallons of water. That means that throwing a clothing item equates to a large amount of water wastage.
Reusing your clothes and creating something nice from them is great until the sewing part comes in. Not many of us know the art of sewing as it is quite a complex one and requires practice to master. For such challenges, here are a few ways in which you can upcycle your old clothes to make something usable out of them without having to sew them.

Tote bags are very much in fashion these days. How cool would it be to make one at home from old clothes? For this, you have to slice out the bottom hem of the t-shirt and cut short vertical strips on it. After that, take those strips and tie them all with the opposite strip. This will lock the bottom of the t-shirt. And your tote bag is ready!
