Blue Jean Top Ten to do List

In my most popular post, Blue Jean Journal, I lamented on what to do with the left over blue jeans with missing pockets. This pile of cut up jeans has been staring at me since then, and I feel guilty about wasting all that good denim.

I finally caved and begin searching for upcycled blue jean and denim projects ...I headed over to Pinterest and created a board, Upcycled Denim and Blue Jean Crafts...etc, where you can see all the great project ideas I found. So, in today's post, I am going to show you my top ten favorite denim Pinterest projects!

Top Ten Blue Jean and Denim Pinterest Projects

 1. Pin Cushions...easy-peasy to make with the tiniest fabric scraps

4. A Pillow...I found many variations...quiet time play pillows for kids, pillows made from just the seams, quilted jean pillows... I like this one made from the button sections because of the interesting texture.

9. A Quilt made from jeans is sure to be durable...and I like this one from littlebirdiesecrets blog because it uses large pieces of the leg portion which would make it go together quickly!
