Start up-cycling this summer. Follow our instagram @beeramagazine for more up-cycled outfits or ideas!
Up-cycling is taking old clothes and redoing them to fit you, be in style and make the clothes unique. It can be from your own clothes you no longer like or that don't fit you anymore, hand-me downs from other people, or thrifted clothes. The idea of up-cycling is beneficial for many things like helping the planet or saving money. When you reuse old clothes instead of buying new clothes you reduce the amount of items that end up in the trash, clogging up our Earth and you avoid adding more items to our already filled planet.
A few up-cycling ideas to get you started this summer
Jeans: If you have a pair of jeans that are too short, cut off the bottom and make them into shorts. You can leave the bottom frayed or you can sew up the bottom to make them look more clean cut.
Swim suits: Have a one piece suit that is too small in the torso section? Cut the bottom of the suit off and make it into a two piece suit. Sew up the
places you cut so the suit stays in one piece.
T-shirt: Take an old t-shirt, fringe the bottom of the shirt or cut it all off together and make it into a new swim suit cover up for the pool or the beach this summer.
Shorts: Last years pair of shorts doesn't fit anymore? Make it into a purse! Cut off the middle connection between the two leg areas to make it look like a "skirt". Then fold the shorts inside out and sew up whole bottom section. Next take the material you cut off and sew it to the top of the shorts for the handle of the purse.
Blouse: Take your old blouse and turn it into a new skirt. Cut off the top section of the blouse so the bottom section is a short skirt length. After that, take the bottom part of the blouse and add elastic to the top part of it to fit your waist and ta-da you have a brand new skirt!
