Crafting with a Pair of Old Jeans

We've been busy making things with old jeans. These are pictures of some things we've made. If you're wondering .....will this have anything to do with our contest for the month of April..... well yes, you are correct!



We've even used the zipper, buttons, and rivets.





I love this journal! I cut off the pocket and sewed it to a piece of unbleached cotton and then glued it to a plain an unused journal. The pocket holds my pen perfectly.






The pockets are definitely our favorite to play with. Stay tuned for some more exciting jean craft ideas later this week, and we'll also announce our contest!
