Old Denim/ New Projects

These denim coasters are an "Earth Day" craft that I did for the Red River Family Magazine website. The tutorial is here. It's all about repurposing what you already have lying around the house.

And while the pouch on the RRFM site has just a button for decoration, I took this pouch a bit further and added fabric and trim to the flap using fabric glue. I already have a 12 year old eyeing it to carry around in her purse.

Using the back pockets of men's jeans, this is big enough to hold a cell phone, lip gloss, cash-- it might be good to carry hygiene items in your purse. The possibilities are endless! With pockets from women's or kids jeans, it would make a great coin purse.
