What about making something like book bags? Or you could cut one into strips and do one of those woven/plaited circular rug things? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651435 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 16:27:33 +0000 ustechie 2651435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i use them to cover the table/floor when my kids do crafts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651428 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 16:16:45 +0000 youboots 2651428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4H club takes donation fabric to make dresses for a program called Little Dresses for Africa you could donate them somewhere local.</p> <p><a href="http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.littledressesforafrica.org/blog/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651407 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 15:26:21 +0000 Cole 2651407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like our flat sheets are still in good shape when the fitted ones bite the dust so I always save one or two for beach blankets, they are nice and easy to shake out and don't take up much room at all in my bag. They are great for tents/pillow forts too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651366 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 14:14:09 +0000 snowjewelz 2651366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy flat sheets! I only buy duvet sets or fitted sheets separately plus pillow cases.</p> <p>I'd probably donate them to animal shelters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651221 Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:09:31 +0000 Mamaof2 2651221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: use them for making forts!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651102 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 22:46:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2651102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used to make extra pillow cases out of flat sheets- she used a flat sheet but didn't bother with them for us kids, but we always needed more pillow cases I guess. I think she also made curtains to match the bedding. </p> <p>I hate washing my duvet cover- so annoying taking it off and putting back on- so I'm pro flat sheet all the way. :) But I've definitely seen them sold separately- often at TJ Maxx or the like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651100 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 22:42:55 +0000 MaisyMay 2651100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for no flat sheets. I actually found places on amazon where I can buy just the queen size fitted sheet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651087 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 22:12:49 +0000 misolee 2651087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate flat sheets too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651054 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 21:03:03 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2651054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: we use a duvet cover, and that gets washed maybe every 2-4 weeks depending on busy we are. We don't eat in bed so I guess I felt it wasn't necessary to wash it more often. I tried using a flat sheet, but I just keep getting tangled in it, and I hated making the bed with the flat sheet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651046 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 20:50:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2651046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkin Pie: oh ok. Do you wash your comforter frequently? To me that's the advantage of sheets so I don't have to wash the heavy comforter as frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651044 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 20:45:19 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2651044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the duvet idea! I've never sewn so hopefully it's not toooooooo difficult.</p> <p>We don't use curtains either, but like the crib sheet idea. But I imagine the forgets would v beer hard.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: I guess find them to be a hassel and don't see the purpose. We just use a fitted sheet and then have a comforter on top of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651042 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 20:41:03 +0000 LindsayLou 2651042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I quilt, so I usually use flat sheets as quilt backings. But I like the duvet idea! I've also used them as backings on curtains, and I've been meaning to make one into a few crib sheets and pack n play sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651040 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 20:39:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2651040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious, why not use them? </p> <p>They make good curtains. Tents for kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-suggestions-on-how-to-repurpose-flat-sheets#post-2651032 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 20:20:57 +0000 arosebyany 2651032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could sew 2 together that you like to make a duvet!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could repurpose them? </p>
