Soft silks, cool cottons and sheer chiffons, all these beautiful fabrics that you once wrapped around yourself take a back seat in your closet once the prints fade and trends change. But we’d totally understand, if you cannot part with your precious saris. After all, you have so many memories in them and spent a small fortune on them too. So why not reuse these fabrics to decorate your home instead? Here are 15 unbelievable ways you can reuse your vintage saris and put them to good use.
1. Turn your old saris into curtains that will match the decor of your room.
2. Use free-flowing fabrics to make fancy bed canopies that add that ethnic touch.
3. Make a colourful bed cover out of your old sari and use the embroidery in an artistic way.
4. This one is the simplest. Just spread an embroidered Sari on the dinner table when you have guests over to give it a fancy makeover.
5. Select contrasting saris and stitch them into colourful cushion covers that will match your decor.
