lots of old torn up clothes that i'd feel stupid for just trashing.

you can shred them and use it as pulp for making paper. you'd need to shred it pretty fine, though.

OR just cut it up into rag sizes. mom has a whole box of old socks and underwear and tshirts she cuts up for rags

for polishing things, or painting, or cleaning things she doesnt intend on re-using the rags with

like oil changes and whatnot

Yeah, rags would be best, my parents do the same as well

dang, that'd be a huge box of rags - but def a good idea! and if you ever wanted to make paper it'd still be available!

mom has a quite a big box of them. like the size of a recycling bin

but give away the ones you don't need that are still wearable to the salvation army

RAGSSS! or make pillows if you're really attached to them, haha

haha, not THAT attached by any means. just out of principle, not memories.

i've got 1 or 2 tees (with logos) and making pillows/cushions is the only way i can think of to hang on to them XD

haha that is a cute idea!

a bunch of them are just tattered up though -so rags may have to be the solutions

you can even donate rags to them - i know some homemade paper making places buy up old tshirts and rags to make paper pulp
