Recycle Your Clothes (Socks to Wristband)

Save Our Planet, Jomrecycle!

Whenever your wardrobe is worn or out of style, use it over again to create a hip and fun new style. This is just some of the ideas on how to renew your wardrobe with recycled DIY fashion.

1. Make A Sock Wristband

Socks get holes in them all the time and also have a great ability to lose their match. Making a wristband puts these lone and torn socks to good use instead of throw it into the garbage bins.

What you need is just

• One sock with a thick ankle band on it.
• Scissors
• Sewing Kit-or just a needle and thread. 

Steps:

1. Cut off the top of the sock. You will need to cut off the part that is not stretchy. 
2. Fold the cut edge in just enough to hem it. Alternately, you could fold it even farther for a thinner wristband.
3. Sew all around the edge of the fold. Turn it right side out and slip it on.
   
   • Try decorating your wristband with buttons or sew on beads. 
   • You can even sew a patch on it.
   • Use socks of all colors and sizes. Some even have patterns on the stretchy part. 
   • You can use a matching thread to sew the hem, or change it up to make your stitches noticeable.
