Momma was having a closet clean up. And of course I helped her out happily since I'm a great, loving and perfect daughter every Mother could dream of . ☜(^▽^)☞

Alright I admitted. Obviously I have some other motivation.
*smirk*

Thus...
I got a pile of things I can recycle with!

And now, let's see what I can do with this old-big-Dad's-jeans

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Unused Jeans
  • 4 Eyelets
  • 1 m Chain
  • 1 Cardboard
  • Embellishment(s)

Steps (10 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut one of your jeans' leg.
    .
    Skinny jeans works well if you want to make a little bag. If you want to make a not-so-little one, I recommended using bigger jeans.I used my Dad's in this case.
    .
    But well, it's up to your imagination to choose(◦'⌣'◦)

  2. 2

    Adjust the to the length you desire. Just cut it. This is going to be your bag's length.

  3. 3

    3.1 Reverse your jeans.
    .
    .
    3.2 And sew the edge of it.
    I don't have a sewing-machine. So pardon my bizzare stitch. m(_ _)m

  4. 4

    Reverse your jeans. The stitch should look like this (^o^)

  5. 5

    5.1 Prepare a cardboard
    This is going to be the one to make shape for your bag. The one that you put on the bottom inside the bag.
    *Sorry, I don't know what it called by*
    .
    .
    5.2 Cover it with the leftover of the jeans.

  6. 6

    Put the cardboard inside. Now, it should be look like this.

  7. 7

    Stitch the edge of upper side of your bag. Still, for making it looks like a real bag （‐＾▽＾‐）

  8. 8

    The bag is too long for me. So I decided to fold it a little bit inside. No sew require. I use the glue gun.
    .
    .
    *Alright, I admitted. I was lazy. You should stitch it if you want to secure it right*

  9. 9

    I use chains for the handle. You can use leather, ropes, whatever. Just let your imagination go wild.
    .
    Anyway, the eyelets are already there.
    .
    If you want to use eyelets, you can pierced your bag a little to put the eyelets, then secure it using a nail.

    Or simply use an eyelet pliers. *much easier*
