A month of clothes upcycling wouldn't be complete without a look at jeans. If there is one item of clothing that I have seen upcycled in more ways than t-shirts, it would be jeans!
First of all, let me show you a couple of my own jeans upcycles which I've done in the past.
First a hair tie and clip holder for my girls, made from an old pair of their jeans:
For the tutorial for this, click here.
Another project- was a pencil case from part of the leg of an old pair of my hushand's white jeans:
Nice and sturdy!
And 3 different sets of 5 gifts from one pair of jeans:

The possibilities really are endless. Just imagine how many of these you could make from just a single pair of jeans!! Mmmm, sounds like a good challenge! Anyone up for it?? There seem to be ways to use every last scrap of the jeans!!
I think Blue Jeans are defnintely more effective recycled than white (which is all I have left now)!
Once I've finished upcycling the clothes I have, I might need a trip to the charity shop to find an old pair of blue jeans....
Have you ever upcycled old jeans??
Got a project you can link up to the clothes upcycling linky here:
pure genius!!

ReplyDeleteGreat ideas to work with jeans. Might have to try some of those.
ReplyDeleteLove all those, Jill, and thanks for mentioning my bracelet, too. Those aprons with jean-butt pockets are so funny and practical. And I watched the video, which is wild. Thanks for the link to the giant 53 item list!

ReplyDeleteIncredible what you can do with humble ol' denim. Love your pencil case

Love the pencil case you made from your husband's jeans, that would also be a fabulous clutch bag or makeup bag!

Hi what happened to the pic/tutorial for the apron made from jeans from the Queen Bee's Hive? I've also seen it pinned on Pinterest but that link doesn't work either. Any info on where I can get directions?
