You've done spring wardrobe cleaning and you've disabled some jeans? Before you take them to the container, check out these cool ideas on how to recycle your favorite fashion pieces.

1. Perfect placemats for a barbecue party

2. From the legs of adult trousers, get into the largest pieces of genie. The standard placemat should be at least 25×35 cm (bc. 45×35 cm) and you will need from each side of the fabric 2 cm more to foundation. Apparently, you will need to sew at least two pieces, do not forget to light the seam into the area.
3. Cut out the underlying fabric in the necessary size and attach it to the reverse side of the placemat. Fold the edges of the denim twice by a centimeter (this will save the edge) and you can iron. So that you do not have to worry about stitching a thick layer of denim, which many home machines can not do, make your work easier with double-sided adhesive tape suitable for textiles, with the help of which you connect the curved edges and lining.
4. With this adhesive tape, finally attach the pocket of children's jeans down to the right side of the placemat.

2. Practical gardening cover

Next, all you need is a solid weaving agent, from which you sew tool loops, and then tie the cover with it for tying. You can watch the video tutorial on YouTube.

3. Basket for cosmetic things or flowers

PairFrom the leg of unnecessary jeans you can easily make practical cupcakes, which you will use, for example, to store small things in the bathroom. They also look good as a pot wrapper. Detailed instructions can be found on our website HERE

4. Elegant floral brooch

Literally for a few crowns you can have a beautiful ornament for a dress that you would pay dearly in the store.
1. From jeans, cut five squares: 2x the length of the side 9 cm, 1x 7.5 cm, 1x 7 cm, 1x 6 cm. From them, then cut out flowers with 4 petals. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect.

3. Fold the flowers on each other from the largest to the smallest so that their petals always go into gaps.
4. Sew the center and sew a large bead into it. Around it, sew even more beaded beads.
5. E.g. cut out about 4cm wheel from the fillet, sew a safety pin to it and then sew the wheel to the bottom of the brooch.
You can find a photo of the procedure on the Tea Rose Home blog.

5. Children's capers
