Recycle your old shower curtain


I've had a shower curtain in my son's bathroom for years that I couldn't bear to part with, even though the holes are ripping day by day. It's clear vinyl printed with photographic flowers and try as I might, I couldn't reinforce the holes. So off to Target we went for a new curtain.

But I still have the old one. Now, what to do with it? The new Planet Green channel from Discovery has a companion Web site and one of the features is called 5 Reuses 4, which repurposes household items. And they have a page for shower curtains!

Among the ideas: car seat cover for transporting the pooch and a picnic blanket (which might get a little sweaty in summer). I was also thinking about cutting it into cool placemats.
