Uses for old duvet cover

dandy-candy

Long story short - son had 18th birthday party, marquee too expensive, DH had huge dome tent frame in garage from his Glastonbury days so we bought 8 green double bed throws from Ikea (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60191761) to cover it.....
Party over - great success - now what can I make or reuse the covers for? Suggestions please!

Ebay?

Join two together to make a duvet cover if they are soft enough.

Sofa throws for winter snuggliness.

Extra curtain lining for winter warmth.

Line all your curtains ready for winter?

Hiya, don't shout stating the obvious, do they match your bedroom colours by any chance.
Or living room, use them as throws, extra layer when it snows.

I made curtains out of some similar throws and lined them with white blackout linings.

Add tabs and use as curtains, room dividers, draught excluding curtains in front of doors...

tableclothes or cushions? or table runners for xmas? sew a waterproof liner to one and use as a posh picnic rug? replacement hammock if you have one?

Hi Dandy Candy

I've popped this into an older thread which should hopefully give you some ideas. The party sounds fab!

Thanks

These are great ideas. Old duvet cover can be used to make children's nightwear. You just cut the worn part out of the center and use the good bits left.
