1. The number one thing I do with old t-shirts is rip them into long strips and use them for cleaning purposes. They're sturdier than paper towels and you can always throw them in the laundry and use them again and again! **The only exception to this is if you're using a harsh cleaning agent that could ruin other clothes in the wash. Or you could always wash in a separate load.
2. Keep a couple for art projects with kids. My friend and I did an art project with our kids the other day and before they started we threw the old t-shirts over them, which covered both shirts and pants completely - no paint made it on them to speak of (and we're talking about two and three-year-olds, which makes it all the more impressive!).
3. If you have the space to store them, keep them all in a box for a future move. We did this with our move from Dallas to Philadelphia and it worked remarkably well.
4. Make a quilt out of them. It's comical that I'm even including this because it's not my thing, but if it's yours that's great! Cut a square around the logo part of your shirt and sew together with others that you've collected. That's about as much as I can be of service in this area, if you are crafty in this way, then you can probably figure out the rest. :)
