Mini Denim Bags or Purses made from Recycled Blue Jeans

Since it is January and we have had a lot of cold weather and snow, I thought I would post a spring time picture of a couple of mini bags made from the legs of girls jeans. They are easy to make. Just cut as much of the leg with the design as you want for the bag. Sew the bottom and then make a hem for the top edge. Make the strap by folding over an inch strip of denim with the cut edges to the inside. Attach the strap to the inside of the bag on either side. Now you have a fun bag to fill with little gifts or a gift card.

Reupholstered Chair Using Recycled Denim Blue Jeans

These are some before and after pictures of a wicker rocker I recovered with denim from jeans and a jacket. The applique came from a jacket and the rest of the denim is from jeans. It was not hard to do using the old fabric as a pattern for the new covering. The only expense I had was the spray paint for doing the wicker part of the chair and the tacks to secure the covering.
