Old jeans laying around? Ways you can reuse them

Before you throw out those used up and torn jeans, here are some ways to reuse them.

I've made a few things with old jeans, including a lamp shade, notebook cover, and picture frame. Check it out in the attached video.

Here are a few tips:

• Keep certain parts intact. For example the fly, pockets, labels and tags, belt loops and any embellishments.
• Cut out areas bigger than you think you might need them.
• To stiffen fabrics use a fabric stiffener. You will find it at the craft store. There are a few brands.
• If you need to shape the fabric around something adhere it to the item first then brush with fabric stiffener.
