Did you know that your favorite
old jeans from thrift stores can still
be recycled into new home
essentials? Here's how.
There are a lot of ways to recycle
old jeans from thrift stores into
new, useful items. Denim jeans can
be transformed into new types of
clothing through cutting and
redecoration.
They can also be reused as bags,
accessories, and organizers. The high-
quality fabric of denim is a resource
that's easy to repurpose around your
home.
Do you have a lot of pre-loved jeans
that you can never seem to let go of?
Thrift stores never fail to be the
perfect place to find all kinds of
high-quality denim. It’s easy to
fall in love with its re-usability
and comfort.
However, if your jeans really do
not fit you anymore or have
fallen out of style, you can
always revamp them!
We have rounded up some of
the easiest ways to recycle
them into a new favorite of
yours. Check them out!
Trendy Shorts
If you are tired of your old flared
jeans, all you need is a pair of
scissors to get some new cute
shorts for the summer.
First, wear the pants, and choose
how short you would like them to
be. Then, get a pencil to mark
where you will cut them off.
After that, carefully cut each leg
straight. You can also go for a
ragged design by pulling the
excess threads from the cut.
Denim
Decorations
You may also craft denim
decorations by adding colorful
patches, cloth, ribbons, or
flowers.
While these decorations are
commonly sewn or
attached to some holes or
stains on your garment
using a glue gun, they make
wonderful home
accessories too!
Reusable Bags
There are a lot of options for DIY
denim bags that can be useful for
daily use. Why not go for a tote
bag?
Just cut squares with the same
sizes using your old jeans. Then,
sew them up according to your
preferred bag size.
You can also mix and match by
using different sets of jeans or
fabrics that make the colors pop.
Stylish Accessories
Denim accessories will never
go out of style with any outfit
of your choice. You can use
your old jeans or DIY denim
skirt to create a new headband
or hairband.
Just cut some pieces of the
denim, and twist or braid
them together. Then, secure
them by sewing or using a
glue gun.
For kids, you can also use the
strips of denim to craft
friendship bracelets for fun.
Denim Organizers
With all the good stuff you can
get from thrift stores, it can be
hard to stay organized.
Luckily, you can recycle old
jeans by turning them into
organizers for your essentials.
For a makeup or pen organizer,
all you need is your pair of
jeans, a used tissue roll carton,
scissors, and a glue gun.
Cover one of the carton’s
holes by securing the denim
on top of it. Use the glue gun to
let it stick, cut the excess cloth,
and you’re done.
You can also cut out the
pocket of your jeans or a DIY
denim jacket and secure them
on a hard surface.
These pocket organizers are
ideal as key holders that you
can hang on a cork or bulletin
board.
Kitchen-Friendly
Items
The good quality and durability of
denim makes it great as a cleaning
tool. You can cut off strips of denim,
and weave them together to create a
rag.
You can also sew them into a
potholder for cooking. It’s also ideal
for beautifying your dining table by
crafting denim place mats.
Now, you do not have to worry
anymore about getting all the
great denim finds at thrift
stores.
You now know the easiest ways
to recycle old jeans into other
useful home items.
If you have a lot of old clothes
that you are not using anymore,
this may be a sign for you to treat
yourself to a new purchase.
