Three Ways To Recycle Your Jeans
 Everyone has a couple old pair of jeans that they
don’t like anymore and don’t know what to do with
them. Well here are three ways to recycle your jeans
into a new fashion statement.
- Make your recycled pair of jeans into a pair
of denim shorts. If you are getting rid of some
of your jeans that you don’t like anymore, you
can change them into shorts instead. All you
need to do is check with your parents and then
cut them to the length that you want to them. Be
careful you don’t cut them too high or else it
will become a mini skirt with holes in the front
and the back.
- Make a denim mini skirt. Begin with a pair
of jeans that fit you and cut the inseams on
both legs so that the jeans are completely open.
Cut all the way up. Cut the length that you want
the skirt then cut out two triangles from the
bottom of the jeans that will fit the missing
front and back space. Pin it and try it on. If
you like it have your parents sew in the
triangle pieces. You now have a brand new skirt
with the exact length that you wanted.
- Do you buy jeans to go with what’s in? If
so, you can take an old pair of recycled jeans
and transform them into what’s in. Rips, holes,
and bleach paint stains have recently become
popular. You can do this right at home. To
create the holes, have your parents help you.
Place a solid surface in the pant legs. Rub a
cheese grater vertically or horizontally in the
area that you want the hole. DO NOT use scissors
to make the hole. If you would like to have a
softer, worn appearance rather than a hole use a
piece of sandpaper and rub it over the area you
want to look frayed. Finally, for a more faded
look, dampen a sponge with bleach and rub it
around the outer edges of the holes. When you’re
finished wash your jeans and they are complete.
