Pillowcases can be a fantastic starting point for home projects or mini crafts. Owing to their convenient, boxy shapes, they can be used for a wide range of jobs starting from organizing, simple sewing, and whatnot. Put your old pillowcases to work all around the house with the following handy hacks.\n

1. Flying Dust Bunnies\n

\"\"\n

If you want to clean your ceiling fan, slide a pillowcase over each blade and pull it off slowly. It\u2019ll bring all the dust bunnies with it without spreading the dust all over.\n

2. Clear Out Cobwebs\n

\"\"\n

Stay ahead of these dusty cobwebs by sliding a pillowcase over your broom. Run it along your ceiling and corners to remove unwanted dust without harming your walls.\n

3. Pillow Protector When Travelling\n

\"\"\n

When traveling, we often use decorative pillows to sleep on while in the car or on a plane. If you\u2019d like to keep your decorative pillows looking good while traveling alongside you on your adventures, put them inside an old pillowcase. This should protect it and keep your favorite pillow looking great.\n

4. Easy Sheet Storage\n

Folding a fitted sheet can be a difficult task. What\u2019s even more difficult is finding out how to store your sheets easily and in an organized fashion.\n

No worries because pillowcases can solve the issue. Store your matching sheet sets inside one of the pillowcases to keep your sheets organized and ready to use.\n

5. Turn Old Pillowcase into Fancy Napkins\n

\"\"\n

You should use linen napkins in the place of paper napkins. The reason is to save money. Moreover, pillowcases are available in a wide array of colors and designs that help you to create fancy napkins.\n

6. Wrap a Present\n

\"\"\n

You can consider using pillowcases to wrap a gift. The next time you must wrap something with an odd shape, place it in a pillowcase and add a decorative bow.\n

7. DIY Garment Bag\n

It\u2019s easy to get the clothes that you must hang up dirty when traveling. Avoid this by cutting a hole in the center of a pillowcase and slipping it over the hanger to protect the clothing.\n

8. Sweater Storage\n

\"\"\n

If your sweaters create storage issues for you too, fold them and place them neatly in a pillowcase. This will allow you to contain and stack them in an orderly fashion.\n

9. DIY Delicates Bag\n

If you\u2019ve washed a pair of pantyhose or a bra in your washing machine, you know how easily the hose can get a run or the bra\u2019s clasp can become twisted.\n

These items aren\u2019t cheap to replace. Therefore, place them inside a pillowcase when washing and drying them. It\u2019ll protect them while they\u2019re being cleaned.\n

10. Dirty Duds Bag\n

Whether you go to the gym daily, have a child with a diaper bag, or are traveling, you need a dirty duds bag.\n

Don\u2019t put dirty clothing in with clean items. Instead, place them inside a pillowcase and tie it. This will keep other items from being soiled.\n

11. Protect Your Shoes and Purses\n

\"\"\n

Plenty of dust your purses and shoes can gather if you don\u2019t wear them regularly. Avoid this by placing purses and shoes which aren\u2019t regularly used inside a pillowcase. This will keep the dust bunnies away.\n

12. Wash Your Cuddly Bear\n

Washing cuddly bears can be quite a chore because you don\u2019t want them to get damaged in the washing machine. Avoid this by placing the stuffed animal in a pillowcase while being washed. It\u2019ll help protect it.\n

13. DIY Canvas Tote Pillowcase Ideas\n

Do you like to use totes to carry items from one location to another, for easy car storage, or for storing your children\u2019s smaller toys?\n

Don\u2019t spend a fortune on these totes. Instead, save a cardboard box and place a pillowcase over it. It becomes an easy DIY storage tote for basically free.\n

14. DIY Chair Cover\n
