We all have that pair of jeans sitting in our closet collecting dust. You’ve either lost/gained weight, regretted your purchase immediately after you came home, or have loved/worn those jeans to death. Whatever your reason for not wearing them anymore, here are five ideas of what you can do with your old jeans instead of chucking them.
- If your jeans are still in good condition, try trading them with a friend. Or better yet, organize a clothes swap party with a bunch of friends. This way, you can get rid of all your old stuff and hopefully score that awesome [insert clothes item or accessory here] you’ve always wanted.
- Cut them into Daisy Dukes. Or if you are more modest, convert them into Capri pants and roll them up for that carefree I-don’t-give-a-damn-because-it’s-the-weekend look.
- Make a pretty denim rose by using just the hem. I liked the post by Craftbits as it’s quick and easy and doesn’t require sewing.
- I love coffee and I love this coffee cozy idea by Two Straight Lines. This cute little sleeve would make a great gift.
- Check out RecycleYourJeans.com. This UK company creates unique sandals from your own pair of jeans. Once you mail them your old jeans, they will convert your pants into recycled sandals within 7-10 days. This green alternative reduces the need for harmful processing chemicals.
