If you're thinking of getting a few custom made Joe Button shirts for the new year but don't know what to do with your existing stash that's just taking up wardrobe space, here are a few creative ideas on how you can recycle / upcycle your old mens shirts.

#1 Fancy cushion covers or pillowcases made from men's shirts

#2 Women's dresses from ex-men's shirt, as seen in the 10 ways to wear a mens shirt video that we posted on the Joe Button Facebook page


#3 Personalised handkerchief made from a piece of material that's taken from an old men's shirt


#4 Aprons or detachable multi-pocketed apron fronts made from an old men's shirt



#5 Something for the kids - little girl's play dress made from an old men's plaid shirt
