Denim Upcycled

Denim Upcycled contains 25 creative projects using old pairs of jeans to create fabulous customised clothes and homeware. Jeans are such a wardrobe staple that most people end up with at least one or two pairs that don't fit any more, have worn out in places, or have gone out of style. But instead of consigning them to landfill, why not repurpose them?

Denim is a durable and versatile fabric that's perfect for upcycling into stylish, sustainable, and useful items for you, your family, and friends, and your home. With clear instructions and handy tips throughout, projects are suitable for all levels. And by buying less and creating more, you're taking positive steps to help address climate change.

Projects include: Flower Brooch, Decorative Cuff, Phone Case, Coin Pouch, Zippy Pouch, Water Bottle Carrier, Tote Bag, Messenger Bag, Storage Baskets, Drawstring Bag, Notebook Cover, Luggage Tags, Shorts, Skirt, Pendant Bottle, Gift Bag, Love Cushion, Home Cushion, Plant Pot, Hanging Hearts, Tooth Fairy Pillow, Pencil Case, Tablet Storage Pouch, Wall Hanging Organizer, and Three-in-a-Row Game.
