Check out this roundup of over 26 Repurposed Jeans Projects and other DIY ideas to upcycle old jeans.
Blue Jeans are as American as Apple Pie and the 4th of July! 😉 Recently I loaded up a bag of items for donation, and a few pair of jeans caught my eye. If you have a few well loved or ill-fitting pair laying around- check out these Repurposed Jeans Projects to get your DIY juices flowing! (I actually changed the main picture image on this post, as I see more great posts with ideas I am going to add them…so it could be more than 26 at any point!)
