Four Ways to Breathe New Life into Your Old Concert T-Shirts

Grey
Does it pain you to see your old rock concert t-shirts stored away in a box or drawer somewhere? If you've either grown out of these treasures or just have no suitable time to wear them there are plenty of ways to breathe new life into an old t-shirt. You're faded old clothes may be just that to someone else, but they're memories to you. Just like a photo album, or family portrait you should put those memories on display!

Whether it a bit too holey or just doesn't fit anymore you're bound to find a clever thing to do with your old t-shirts here. I've compiled a list of the top 4 things to do with your old rock concert t-shirts, so whether your crafty or not you'll be able to figure out something better than keeping them in that dark closet!

1)
Use it as a pillow case. Old and worn t-shirts are right up there with Egyptian cotton in my book! Display your favorite band t-shirts right on your bed; just slip the t-shirt over a regular sized pillow and viola. What better place for your Stones t-shirt is there? It also adds a very unique quality to the décor of your abode. Let me tell you, none of your friends will have Led Zeppelin bedding from Target!
2)
Frame it! Turn your house into a Hard Rock Café with a collection of framed t-shirts on your wall. It really doesn't matter what kind of shape they're in. If they're torn, stained or ripped, it can only add to the "rock and roll" appeal of it. It will certainly make for a great conversation piece too.
3)
Turn it into a purse. If you're handy with a sewing machine there's nothing cooler than turning something old into something new. You could purchase a canvas bag to stitch the t-shirt onto or start from scratch and make it a creation all your own. If you're really handy with a sewing machine the possibilities are endless, you could even turn it into a onesie for your own little bundle of joy!
4)
Sell it! If you're t-shirt is cool enough and qualifies as vintage then there's a definite market out there for it. Check e-bay and see how much your item is going for and then decide whether you're ready to part with it or not. Hey, maybe it's time you bought some new clothes anyway, right?

Hold on to it, or pass it on, what ever you want to do. Just get it out of that box! Rock concert t-shirts are memories and a reminder of all the good times you had and will continue to have. Use it as home décor, make it a fashion statement, or sell it to someone out there who's looking to recapture their glory days. The possibilities are endless with an old t-shirt.
