Sewn by YOU ~ Repurpose an Old Twister Game Mat

What do you do with an old Twister game mat that's no longer used? Thinking outside the square is called for...


Shirley, from Sewing by Shirley, turned hers into an extra large tote bag. Isn't it fabulous! For a bit of extra fun, Shirley embellished the bag using her Silhouette Cameo Machine. Pop on over to Shirley's blog for more details and to find out how she strengthened the plastic seams. Oh, and to see which two tutorials of mine she referred to as she made her bag.

In case you have an old Twister game mat lying around, here's a few links that might give you some ideas to repurpose it...

  3. Haven't played Twister in years! We are currently clearing out the attic so I may well come across one of those mats, now I know what to do with it :)

  4. Taky jsem řešil, jak si odpočinout po tvoření a hledal něco, co by mě zabavilo. Narazil jsem na playjonny a protože jsem měl pár proher u jiných automatů, začal jsem hrát opatrně, ale pak mě čekala větší výherní sázka v automatu Book of Dead a trefil jsem pěknou výhru. Celý zážitek byl napínavý a české bonusy pro hráče z Ceska přidaly hře další vzrušení. Nakonec jsem si opravdu odpočinul a pobavil se.

  5. What a creative and fun way to repurpose an old Twister mat! Turning it into a large tote bag is such a clever idea, and adding the Silhouette embellishment really makes it special. Shirley did a fantastic job.

    It's always great to see people get innovative with things they already have. Finding new uses for old items is a bit like discovering a new game, it brings a fresh sense of fun. For instance, if you enjoy classic games and are looking for a new way to play on your phone, you might find the Teen Patti Go app an entertaining option for some casual card gaming. Thanks for sharing this wonderful upcycling project, it's really inspiring to see such creativity.
