old mattress protector

missamoo

hi,

I'm new to this board having been a fan of the quick grabbit threads over the sales!

I've just had to replace my mattress protector as the sides of it that go round the side of the mattress had loads of holes in them but the protector bit itself is still pretty ok. Any ideas what I could do with the quilted bit?

you could cut off the rest of the edges and put it under your new mattress protector for extra warmth, or if it's a double/king size pop it on a single bed if you have one and tuck it round. roll it up and put in a material tube and use as a door draught excluder. wrap it round delicate plants to lessen risk of frost damage. put in a spare similar sized quilt cover, and sew over and around it and you've made a nice easy bedspread/throw.

Roll it and stuff it and stitch it to make a long bolster pillow?

I would get the sewing machine out and make pillow covers to go under the pillow cases.

Sew strong elastic to each corner so that it loops over the corners of the mattress to hold it in place.

i used mine to line my curtains and to make a draught excluder ( it was kingsize! lol)
