All of us have a lot of denims lying in our cupboards without being used. We liked them so much because they were absolutely comfortable and we had your best days wearing them. But somehow we dont like to wear them now, may be they look old, worn out, became loose rather tight eh?? ;), zipper gone, old fashioned fitting and for whatever reasons. Let's take out those old denims and turn them into charming items to accessorize your home and yourself :) We found humpty number of upcycling projects for your denims. We would share the best ones for you in this section.
1. Denim Skirt
This project takes a bit of your time and tests your sewing skills, but it looks so cute! Denim skirts of these kind might be too expensive to buy from the stores! We would like to try making this one with a favorite fabric and a comfy old denim.
This uses the top part of your denim. You can turn your little daughter's old denim (they grow so fast and Jeans become shorter and shorter) to a lovely skirt. We bet she'll look really cute with these!
