Right now we have about 3 pairs of jeans and two denim jackets at home waiting in the stash to be reused. So I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the creative projects I found. I think I will end up with a kind of floormat. 

Which project appeals to you most?


1. Floormat from waistbands and inseams by passionfly
2. Jeans slippers by Nancy Minsky
3. Recycled denim coaster by My Recycled Bags
4. Christmas trees in denim by One Crafty Mumma
5. Drawstring bag by Hooked on Needles
6. Recycled denim oven mitt by My Recycled Bags

  4. Hi Sonya. You have a great blog here. Found you in the Blogging Buddies forum, and I am now your newest follower.

    Love this post. I usually upcycle my jeans into smaller jean shorts or pants for my kids.

    I hope you can come by and visit me when you get a chance. Have a great weekend.

  8. I love the coasters!!! When I started making jewelry 3 years ago, I first made them with denim. I love the pieces so much I named my company Earjeans (get it? :) So I get excited when I see denim being used in non-traditional ways. Great blog, glad to find you :)
