Jeans are a staple in every person’s wardrobe. They are both comfortable and fashionable. More importantly, jeans can be worn in all kinds of weather; they are in-style year round!
But because we love jeans so much, we often wear them out quickly and purchase new ones relatively frequently. This means most of us have a pair of old, unused jeans stored in our closets somewhere.
Rather than toss them, consider trying some of these ideas out. There are actually quite a few fun, creative crafts you can make with an old pair of jeans. I am trying some of these out this weekend, and I highly recommend you take a look and do the same!
Child’s Apron
