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.

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
