Second Life: What To Do With Old Receiving Blankets
(Pictured: Flannel squares ready for their next chapter! Don't toss them—these quality fabrics deserve a #SecondLife. Here are the best ways to repurpose them!)
#what to do with old receiving blankets
For the Memory Keepers (Sewing/Crafting)
Create a Memory Quilt: Stitch squares from favorite patterns into a beautiful, lasting heirloom.
Sew a Stuffed Animal or Cuddle Pillow: Perfect for toddlers transitioning out of the crib.
Sew Pajamas/Doll Clothes: Muslin is ideal for soft, tiny garments.
For the Busy Parent (Easy, No-Sew Hacks)
Super-Absorbent Cleaning Cloths: Cut into quarters for lint-free dusting and window cleaning.
Ultra-Soft Hair Towel: Muslin reduces frizz better than terry cloth.
Pet Toy: Braid strips together for a simple dog chew toy (supervise use!).
For the Giver (Donating & Repurposing)
Donate to Animal Shelters: Shelters always need soft bedding for puppies and kittens.
Give to Local Charities: Local women's shelters or pregnancy centers gladly accept clean, gently used baby items.
FAQs & Tips
Wash Before Donating? Yes! Always ensure all blankets are freshly laundered and stain-free before donating to any organization.
Quilt Fabric Tip: Flannel and thick cotton are the easiest fabrics to handle when sewing memory quilts.
