Recycled Jeans Craft Projects

An old pair of jeans is either distressed to perfection and fits like a glove, or simply last season’s news. When you come across the latter, resist the urge to add to your cut off collection and instead, transform this durable and versatile fabric into something totally wow-worthy. From unique home decor items to stylish accessories, here are 17 ways to repurpose denim and more.

1. No-Sew Kindle Cozy: Spray adhesive is the key to creating this jeans-covered no-sew project that protects your tech. We not-so-secretly love that the cover is bejeweled in chunky rhinestones.
