Bed Linens

Old blankets with holes can be stuffed into an existing duvet cover or used as batting for a homemade quilt. Read on for more ways to use expired blankets.

Pillows

Portions of a blanket that are still good can be used to make pillow covers.

Smaller Blanket

If the holes or worn areas are on the border of the blanket, the blanket can just be cut down to a smaller size. Finish with a turned under hem, serge stitch or blanket binding to make a lap or doll’s blanket.

Stuffed Animal

Use portions of the blanket that are in good condition to make stuffed animals.
