101 Creative Ideas to Recycle Denim Jeans
I was rummaging through my closet the other day and I noticed that I had built up a pretty good supply of old denim jeans that I was unlikely to ever wear (or be able to wear.. ) again. Ditto for both my husband and my kids who have now outgrown numerous items made of denim from jeans to jackets. I don't know about you, but I suspect this may be the case with many readers.
I then got to thinking about what a waste it would be to just throw these old garments away. Unfortunately donating isn't an easy option where I live as that would be a good alternative too. So I began to think of ways I could repurpose or recycle all of this wonderful blue, black and white cotton denim.
One of the things denim is known for is that it just lasts and lasts. Such a durable and long-life fabric creates terrific opportunities to reuse, repurpose and recycle after it has been used as a pair of jean or a jacket. You could probably even recycle denim a couple of times before it would wear out.
So I put together this roundup of 101 Creative Ideas to Recycle Denim Jeans. I hope it will give you some inspiration for getting all that lovely denim back to work.
