A pair of jeans that I've worn way too much over the past 3 years finally gave way to giant holes in the crotch and butt area.

What to do with old jeans?

I'm a big fan of recycling and upcycling (and cycling itself). It's been long known that jeans are awesome for making bags:

Or phone covers:

BUT these aren't the only things jeans can become.

So, I shall reincarnate my jeans into something else...

The possibilities:

1) For avid readers: Book Covers

Durable and unique, with a totally useful pocket! :D

2) For a more visually appealing dining experience: Denim Coasters and Placemats <3 <3

I actually made a cushion cover out of jeans' material before. So cute and easy to wash!
