I’m a sucker for all things vintage and sentimental, so loving repurposed vintage hankies comes naturally to me. Even though they’re meant to blow your nose in them.
Can you believe our grannies did that into this beautiful fabric?
Since making our DIY Vintage Hankie Garland a few months ago, I’ve seen several amazing projects using repurposed vintage hankies.
I thought it would be fun to share a bunch of creative projects using repurposed vintage hankies to get your creative wheels turning!
Most of these have tutorials if you click through to the corresponding links. But even the ones that don’t have a how-to are still inspiring and simple enough that we could all probably figure it out.

Aren’t these some amazing ideas for using that beautiful fabric from vintage hankies? I hope you were inspired to DO something with you stash instead of just leaving them in a drawer.
And if you DON’T have any vintage hankies, I see them all the time at yard sales and antique stores for cheap. It’s so exciting to find these little beautiful pieces of history!

The real thing it doesn’t really matter. I pretty sure the cloth covered buttons are from vintage embroidered table Runners and pillowcases but I love those too!
I don’t believe the “Vintage Hankie Reusable Bowl Covers” are actually hankies as I have this same fabric that I made curtains with. It looks like vintage, but it’s actually new fabric.
Yes I think you’re right. Maybe just vintage fabric?
