I inserted wire into the jean strips - I got this great idea from another blogger Mich L. in LA
 |
| Inserting the wire - remember to curl the ends in. I also glued felt to the ends so that the wire would stay in place. |
 |
| The old jeans! |
 |
| The collection I made...lace & buttons! Will be sending these out as part of the Craft it Forward. Will keep you posted :-) |
 |
| Tried to make this like the end of a sleeve.... |
 |
| Clover leaf with a pearl-like bead |
 |
| "Jewel" with lace - think I should have used a ruby red one instead! |
 |
| Lace again! |
Now I need to decide on what to do with the rest of the jeans :-)

Hi ladies, I've made a tissue holder with one of the legs of the jeans....http://greenissuessingapore.blogspot.com/2011/03/old-jeans-into-tissue-holder.html
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea! Sadly I don't wear any bracelets, or I'd shamelessly copy it :)
ReplyDeleteI came across Michelle's denim bracelet tutorial. Then I stumbled on all your wonderful versions! Thanks for the inspiration. Okay to feature and link in a future blog post so others can come visit?
