Need an idea for re-using a pair of ripped jeans...
After doing laundry today, I realized a pair of my jeans has ripped in the butt area... I don't want to throw them away and they are not in good enough shape to donate... so any ideas of what to use them for?
Re: Need an idea for re-using a pair of ripped jeans...
There are some interesting ideas in this article or this one (I remember playing with homemade bean bags as a kid!) and I ran across the below description someone left as a comment to a different article:
"If you know how to sew, you can make a quick jacket for a small dog/large cat. Cut the leg to the length of the pet, from the neck up to its tailbone. Add elastic to the narrow end of the jean (that would be the hole for the head). Now cut 2 holes on the bottom, (you can use another sweater for measurements) for the front legs, and cut the bottom part in a U shape."
Well Bonded Logic makes insulation out of old denim, proof of which is that Newsweek profile of Adrian Grenier. The tree-hugging ?Entourage? star is caught posing suggestively in front of his recycled jeans wall at his eco home in Brooklyn. Hot. Most of the fabric Bonded Logic uses comes from factory floors, but some does come from jeans-wearing consumers, as well. Send yours to Green Jeans Insulation, at this address: Fair Indigo Denim Drive c/o Green Jeans Insulation Inc. 1109 W. Milwaukee St. Stoughton, WI 53589
Or, there is an interesting article here if you want a project to make something out of them.
Ditto this.
I've saved a bunch of pairs and made them into a big quilted dog bed/pillow bc they're so much more durable than regular fabric, too.
Ditto!
