A couple of weeks ago, I shared a no-sew jeans pocket garland and it got me thinking that there must be some fun things I could do with the rest of those pocketless jeans.  I did some searching and found 20 ways to upcycle old jeans.  Time to hit up the thrift store, clean out the kids’ closets, and repurpose those jeans into something fun and fabulous!

Aren’t those amazing?  Which idea is your favorite way to upcycle old jeans?  I’m pretty partial to the denim map although my jeans pocket garland is a close second {wink}.
