Vintage Chenille Blankets are perfect to use in many different craft projects and home improvement projects around the house. I always come across great Vintage Chenille Blankets at flea markets, antique stores, and even new blankets at K Mart. Some of these ideas are also great for Vintage Chenille Blankets that may possibly have some damage on them.
I have so many and I hate storing them away. These ideas will get your Vintage Chenille Blankets out of storage and have them on display around the house.
1. Place mats – This is a very easy craft perfect for using up left over piece of Vintage Chenille Blankets from some of these other projects. Simply cut out your placemats to size. Turn the rough edges over and hem them. You could also use a contrasting fabric on the back. Face the patterns together. Sew all four side leaving a small opening so your can turn the placemat inside out. Lay it flat and iron it to lay flat. Tuck the rough ends of the opening in to hide them. You can easy sew this area shut by hand or slide in some no sew and iron it together.
2. Vintage Chair slipcover – This is the perfect use for an Vintage Chenille Blankets that has some damage on it.
You can use the good areas of the Vintage Chenille Blankets to cut our your pattern and avoid any damaged areas. This is also a good project made out of a new store bought Chenille Blankets.
3. Vintage Pillow shams – These are simple to make, you and simply sewing four sides in a straight line. You could even use No Sew for a project like this. Lay your pillow out on your Vintage Chenille Blankets, trace with a marker, and then cut it out. Sew the edges together. Leave one end open to slide your pillow in. This is another great project for a Vintage Chenille Blankets that is not in 100% perfect condition.
4. Vintage or Retro Curtains – You can hang your Vintage Chenille Blankets without causing any damage to them for this project if you will use curtain clips. If you are worried about the prongs of the clips digging into your Vintage Chenille Blankets place a small piece of felt in between your quilt and the clip.
5. Vintage Bathroom Shower curtain – This is a great way to warm up a small sterile bathroom. Use those curtain clips again, the kind that come attached to a ring. Hang your rings on the shower rod and you will have a designer look in your bathroom.
6. Vintage Large Purse – Use a vintage pattern for a pocket book or purse. Instead of buying material use an old Vintage Chenille Blankets. The look is utterly Grandma Chic and never goes out of style. Line the inside with a contrasting fabric for some extra fun.
