what to do with those old bras  . Up cycle them
make them into drawer scenters
just cut the sides off and stuff cups
with batting and lavender buds, dried rose petals or cedar chips
Add a few drops of essential oil to refresh.
Like lavender (or any of your favorite scents)
You can also use for your closets, drawers, luggage,
Stinky boots or sneakers
sew together.
if you leave the
straps on you can hang them
inside the closet or with your jackets
and coats for the winter..
If you cut off the elastic straps you can use that for making your covid masks. Who knew.. But last year when I couldn't get any masks and had to make m own but couldn't find elastic so this worked great.
You can also make them into Pin cushions
Just stuff with cotton batting scraps
Waste not..lol
Refresher spray
pure essential lavender oil or your favorite scent
Fill the bottle with 4 fluid ounces of purified water. If you would like to make a larger batch, simply increase the proportions, such as doubling or tripling the amounts. The mist spray will last.
Add 40 drops of the lavender essential oil to the half alcohol and half water. Cap the bottle and shake well to mix ingredients

I love the idea for the hot bag. I have fibromyalgia and use heating pads and bags in the evening to relieve some of the pain.
I also have a friend that does belly dancing for fun with her mother (believe it or not)(they are both in great shape). She cuts off the back bands with the hook n eyes and the straps, and replaces them with sequence and decorative ribbon and decorates the dickens out of the cups. I have seen some of their outfits and they are unbelievable. They dance for parties (all above board ladies) and gives the $$ to cancer research. Her mom is a survivor of breast cancer going on 11 years

Remember… Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body. Instead, you should slide in sideways, glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, in a body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming “Woohooo! What a ride!”

If you have a bra that you love the look of but hate to were why not make a hot bag out of it.
Remove the under wire and the straps cut one side and fill with cheep uncooked white rice and re-sew the side.
Repeat with second cup and you have two. Then you just place in the microwave for one minite to heat. |

This is a great idea! I was getting ready to throw out a few bras. I'm going to reuse them now. I love the underwire idea for the fairy garden!!

I was scrolling through the topics and when I saw this one I almost fell off my chair laughing! So many ideas for old bras. I guess you could cut off the straps and lace and repurpose as well.

good thought. The underwires generally come out before the bra is worn out. Can't stand them.

i got an idea use the wire for a clothespin bag!
problem solved or a mini trellis for those little Ivy plants
the two wires form a kind of heart shape. train the little vines
around it.

I wear my bras until there's nothing left of them hardly. Now if someone can give me an idea of what to do with the underwires, that might be a help! LOL

You girls make me laugh this was a great thread! I'm a new sister and I look forward to lots of fun.
I got an idea you know the 3 wire veggie hanges for the kitchen? what about gatehering graduating sizes 3-5 cover with hankies,floursack or vintage material..then use it for the cuteet fruit/veggie holder the kitchen has ever seen. could use for toiletries, sewing notions or stuffed animals.
oh hammocks for beanie babies!!!
sorry once I named myself Creativemuse I have a quirk
if asked I have ideas ..
Ah whynot like a shoe organizer use it for smaller items several of them sewn up to a mane cloth. sorry it just came to me.

You girls are so funny. Loved reading the posts and ideas for uses of old bras. Neat idea on making your own fragrance spray too. My old bras are holding my old boobs too. lolol Remembering when I got my first bra and how ill fitting they were, but I was starting to "show", so that meant putting on the harness and enduring it.
Make my words soft and tender, for I may have to eat them. :) |

Happy it is, indeed, for me that my heart is capable of feeling the same simple and innocent pleasure as the peasant whose table is covered with food of his own rearing, and who not only enjoys his meal, but remembers with delight the happy days and sunny mornings when he planted it, the soft evenings when he watered it, and the pleasure he experienced in watching it’s daily growth.

I got this text yesterday, and thought of this thread...cute.
" Have you ever wondered why bras are lettered A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, H and how the letters are actually used to define bra sizes?? A- Almost Boobs B- Barely Boobs C- Can't Complain D- Dang! DD- Double Dang!! E- Enormous F- FAKE G- Get a Reduction H- HELP ME, I've fallen & can't get up! A friend is like a good bra.... Hard to Find Supportive Comfortable Always lifts you Up Never let's you down or leaves you hanging and is always close to your heart. Thanks for being a great bra...I mean friend! I love you! (: "
Thanks to all my farmgirl sisters for being a great *bra* LOL

I will look into Bras on Broadway. It sounds great, and what a good cause! Thanks for posting about it.

tooooo funny, you guys. On a more serious note, in Fargo we have a Bra's On Broadway Festival for the last three years that I know of. Women donate their old bras, plus $5.00 and the bras are hung on broadway. some are quite fancy,some are just plain worn out. In the years During the first four years of Bras on Broadway more than $100,000 was given to the American Cancer Society (ACS), and last year more than $42,000 was raised. this year over $60,000 was donated to the ACS. This money is to help women battling breast cancer. This is a program that I would love to see in many more cities. Google bras on Broadway, so far it's the only one I know but there may be more cities in the works. |

What cute and some hilarious ideas! I love the birds nest ideas! Too cute! I'd love to see pics if any of you do upcycle your bras. I bet they are adorable as purses sachets and birds nests! :D

Hi All :) If you want a conversation piece, do as I have done. I made a purse out of my one bra & use it when I am on the motorcycle, slips right on the wrist ;) That reminds, I better get it out of storage :)
