    hi sai ,

    nice to see you here with your usage tricks .

    apart from that , those sarees can be utilised for tent - like decoration for small functions like BDAY & puberty .... wherein on the tied arch like ropes, many sarees can be spread & hang & used as backdrops . will look very nice for photos.

    I am married for more than 40 years. I gave 3 of my wedding sarees to orphanage as donations. I heard they dry clean them and give it to the bride. I am not very sentimental person.

    I have one idea. If you are willing to cut the sari, make a border for your frame and put your wedding invitation in the middle. Like that you can make it for your anniversary pictures and vallakappu pictures etc. It will look beautiful. I have one sari left and going to do that with my wedding invitation.

    What do you think about my ideas, ladies? Please I would love to hear form you. Thanks. :bowdown:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown

    The best way to use your old sarees is to donate them to the needy as you have worn them enough number of times and moreover we keepon buying new ones. So why hoard old clothes?

    Hi,

    Now a days when the fashion is changing, nobody wants to wear big border pattu sarees.Moreover the pattu sarees can be worn only in Marraiages or any big functions like this. I take my example any big function in my house is very rare once or twice in a year.

    So I discovered one idea I am doing embroidery with kundans & spring work all over the border, somewhat heavier on pallu & one motif running along with the border at 1 & 1/2 inch distance. I think i will come out good.I can wear it in my office functions & any celebrations like dussera or diwali celebrated in the office.

    I am doing spring work coz my saree is navy blue body with pink border.

    Comment please..:cheers

    You can also convert your sarees into rich Bed spreads or cushion covers, they look awesome. I,ve done that & since you are using the whole saree they dont tear easily
