Diy Craft With Jeans Design

Unlike other textiles, denim never falls out of fashion. As a result of its timeless style, used denim, in the form of old jeans, is an inexpensive and easily available craft supply for just about everyone.

If you don't already have an old pair of jeans languishing in the back of your closet, collect a few pairs from your friends and family for free. With a little planning and creativity, one pair of jeans can be cannibalized into more than one project. Even the grungiest jeans can be turned into something lovely, as spots and holes can be cut out.

Whether you are a novice crafter or a advanced sewist, old jeans are a great starting point for a huge number of DIY projects, that range from charmingly primitive to sophisticated.
Quilts

Rugs and Floor Mats

By the way, denim quilts are very heavy and can also be easily used as area rugs.

In addition to quilted floor mats (AKA the quilt you put on the floor), denim can also be used to create woven rugs, rag rugs, or braided rugs.

Place Mats and Table Runners

Smaller strips of fabric left over from other project can be used to make mini quilts as place mats or table runners.

Pillows

Although denim patchwork has long been a staple of country style, it can look surprisingly modern. I like the idea of making denim pillows appliqued with punctuation marks rather than a traditional monogram.

Coasters

You really don't even have to know how to sew to make denim coasters. Use fabric glue or hot glue to make spiral-shaped coasters from the seams of old jeans. Pro tip: put a thick rubber band around the outer edge of the coaster while the glue cures. It will keep the spiral tightly rolled, and preserve the round edge.

Handbags

The Internet is full of patterns for denim handbags that range from chic to hideous. Use good judgment.

Baby Bibs

Because used denim is soft and washable, it's a perfect material for making baby bibs.

Christmas Wreaths

Speaking of holidays, a denim Christmas wreath is an easy, no-sew project that even kids could make.

Masks

Carnival is just around the corner! If you have a pair of embellished jeans that have seen better days, repurpose the denim and the doodads into a fabulous mask.
