10 Great DIY Ideas Using Recycled Denim

July 27, 2015 in DIY & Crafts
Crafts from Recycled Denim

                We all have some old denim jeans lying around that we keep meaning to throw out, especially if they are not good enough to donate. I know I keep some thinking that someday I will make something out of them. Here are 10 great craft/DIY ideas for recycling your old denim into something fresh and fun.
Even though July is over, it is never too late to have a red, white and blue wreath on your door.
Patriotic Wreath
If you have young children, this travel sensory board/quiet book will be great to keep in the car. It would also be great to have while waiting for appointments.

These denim rosettes are really cute and make a lovely necklace. You could also use them for other crafts if you wanted.

These storage bins made out of your recycled jeans are handy to have in your craft room or any room.

Let your kids make these fun flower magnets out of your old jeans. These would make a cute gift for parents or grandparents, too.
Denim Flower Magnets
If you or your kids have a pair of jeans with frayed ends or ripped knees, try repurposing the jeans into some shorts. These have lace on them, but you could use other embellishments, too.
Embellished Denim Shorts
This rag rug made of jeans not only looks great, but will really hold up. Save up old jeans for a while to make this one, as it takes around 9 pairs of denim.
Jean Rag Rug
This denim beaded bracelet is fun to make and share with your friends. Older kids may be able to help, but you can always make one for the younger kids and they will love it!

For a fun, but useful, project, try these DIY denim coasters.

This denim covered pencil can is a great rainy day project for all ages. Recycle an old can and have some useful storage for pencils, scissors, or homework supplies.

    I love that wreath. I use jeans to make several things around our house. Both of my boys have jean quilts and they love them – much heavier and warmer than the others I have made.

    Thank you so much for featuring our Denim Rug. It is such a favorite of mine and I have 4 now haha 🙂 They get softer over time and such pride when someone see’s it and says “oh I just love that”
    Thank you again. I loved your whole jean round up 🙂

#ad/gifted #ahavalove Siri, remove my makeup...S #ad/gifted #ahavalove 

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.
