A recent Facebook post on top sheets received more than 120 comments. While a few expressed their surprise, far more had helpful ideas of that to do with those \"hated\" sheets, as one person called them.

Here are 8 ways to use your top sheets:

- Fort building

- Tarps for kids' painting projects

- Donate them to an animal shelter for bedding

- Use two of them to make into a duvet cover

- Use them on the beach or in the park

- Make curtains

- Make them or bring them to a tailor to be turned into fitted sheets

- Donate them to organizations making masks
