35 Clever Projects from OLD DENIM JEANS

 

. . . . .

One of the hardest things to throw out (or donate) for me….are jeans.  Denim is such a thick and sturdy fabric that can be used for so many things, that I just can’t toss it.  I think all this denim collecting started when I was in high school.  I collected all the jeans I could get my hands on, so that I could piece together a nice heavy denim quilt.  I loved that thing! (Now that I think about it…..what ever happened to that quilt?!?!  Dang.)  But after the quilt was complete….the denim collecting never ended.  Ahhhh, that’s where it all began.  Thanks for talking me through my therapy session — I think I figured out why I’m a denim hoarder! ;)

Anyway, I was browsing around online and started collecting so many great ideas for using denim.  And not just outdated lame denim projects…….these ideas are SUPER COOL!!!!  And HIP!  And look like so much fun to make!
