   Make bean bags for a bean bag game. 1 pound bag of dried beans, not sure how big to cut the jeans exactly. I need to get measurements from my mom.

   I recovered the dining room chairs in old jeans. Very comfy-looking , and I love that shade of blue.

   I have a secret hankering for a bag made of cut-off jeans. But that’s probably just because I can never bear to throw out a favourite pair, no matter how threadbare they get… Thanks for a terrific list!

   Great tips! You can also make skirts from jeans by splitting the inside seam and adding in a piece of fabric.

   I like making potholders with old jeans. The heavy cotton is great for it.

   Those are some really cool ideas. I’m thinking about making a lunch sack and a quilt. I have a lot of old jeans I can no longer fit into after (finally!) growing a few inches this past year or two.
