Reuse your old Saree in 5 different ways

Hello guys. Hope everyone would be doing well. We Indians are very much used to wearing traditional saree’s. We all would be having some old traditional saree’s which our grandmother's or great grandmothers would have passed it to our moms and from our moms to us. These days old traditional saree’s are seen as unique and statement pieces. But there are times when we are so over some saree’s which we don't like to style anymore. Usually in Indian household we give such old clothes to the bartanwalis and in exchange for utensils.

Here few ways you can reuse your old saree’s and make some good statement pieces.

1. Make curtains. 
If you have sheer saree’s lying around unused make long floor length curtains from them. These days’ two layered curtains are a big trend. So you can use two different colour saree’s and make nice sheer curtains from them for your bedroom or living room. These would add a nice personal touch to your house.

2. A cape dress.

These days a cape dress is a total style statement. A long cape can be easily made with an old Saree. I have used my mom's old bhandni saree and made a long cape out of it. (See the picture for reference). Stitching a cape is very easy and one can easily make a DIY at home too.

3. Make a Long Maxi dress.

If you have an old silk saree lying around make a long floor touching dress out of it. Silk never goes out of fashion. And style it with a nice trendy dupatta.

4.  Door mat

Yes you read it right we can make a nice colorful door mats from your old saree’s.

5. Potli or tote Bags.

Making a potli bag is very easy and you can make the same from the left over cloth of the saree dress that you have made.
