We love a good upcycle. Reusing clothes is definitely a favorite upcycle medium around here. Not only do I have stacks of old t-shirts but I also have stacks of old denim. While looking for great ways to reuse denim, I found these nice projects that leave “country” behind. They’re great denim upcycle ideas that are both useful and nice looking!

These are all so great ideas! I have a pile of old jeans in the basement that just need to be thrown away, but I’m thinking all the time how good it would be to turn all those old pairs onto something useful. Here are some great ideas for me to try, so now’s the right time to recycle all my old jeans. Thank you for the inspiration!

And you know such things become even more precious, cause you know that it’s done by hands. You put your emotions, you care about the people you make it for.

The best thing I’ve found old denim good use for is fishing hats for my husband. You can make like 2-3 usually from 1 pair of old jeans and comparatively to how much those cost(on average those are pretty overprice if sold as fishing gear like https://gritroutdoors.com/fishing/ ) it’s a great money saver! Plus it’s extremely easy to make compared to many other items!
