How Do You Repurpose Your Old Jeans, College Tips

In today’s age, you need to be creative and resourceful. It is a must that you know how to repurpose old things. That way, you can save a lot of money. Plus, you are already living a sustainable lifestyle.

Speaking of repurposing, have you ever wondered what you can do with your old jeans? If you want to learn more, or if you wish to have a new project, this post is for you.  

School Bag 

If you want a cool bag that can carry your school things, then use your old jeans for this. It would be amazing if you add a bit of embellishment to add personality to it. If you know how to sew using a machine, that’s good. But if you’d rather do it by hand, that option is ok as well.  

Pencil Case  

Even if most of us are using tablets and smartphones, we can’t really eliminate pens, pencils, and markers in our lives. And quite frankly, these things get easily lost in a huge bag. Avoid that from happening again by having a pencil case made out of your old jeans.  

Quilt  

Did you know that you can make a quilt out of your old jeans? But of course, expect that the fabric will be heavier. Once you are done with it though, you will appreciate its design. Or you can make a smaller version and use it when you are studying on school grounds.  

 Wall Décor  

Do you think your wall is too plain? If yes, then do something about your jeans, create unique patterns, and hang it on your wall. We bet that your visitors will keep on asking you where you got it. Come to think of it, you can make this is as your side business and you would be able to earn extra.  

Rags  

If you wish for your visitors to wipe their shoes first before going into your dormitory, then why not have a nice rag made of jeans? You can get your oldest pairs of jeans and turn them into one. You would be surprised how easy it is to make.  

Redecorate Your Old Walking Shoes  

Are you already bored with your old walking shoes? Add personality to it by adding your old jeans on top of it. Go crazy and use fabric paints or markers to personalize it. What’s great about college is that you can showcase your style – and you will not be ridiculed if you do so.  

Cellphone Case  

Most of us are using smartphones and other gadgets. How about creating sleeves for them? These things are easy to do because they are generally smaller. For sure you can finish it in about an hour – depending on the style you wish.  

Cup Cover  

Do you love drinking your coffee every day? If yes, making a cup cover using your old jeans should do the trick. At least you won’t get burnt. Plus, you can drink the beverage in style. We’re pretty sure you can turn heads with that.  

School Supplies Organizers  

For those living in a cramped space such as a dormitory, you need to maximize your walls. How about creating a school supplies organizer using the old pockets of your jeans? Place your scissors, pens, and other stuff in there, and stay neat all the time.  

Table Runner  

You can also give your table a new attitude by having a table runner made out of your jeans. Just in case this is such a big project for you, go a bit smaller and make drink coasters. At least you won’t ruin your table whenever you place your cold glasses on it.  

Cute Accessories  

You can even create awesome jewelry out of your denim. Just add some buttons, beads, and pearls and you would certainly look amazing. Make earrings, bracelets, and even necklaces with them.  

Donate It  

Just in case you do not have the time to do a project for your old jeans, we recommend donating them. We know for a fact that many people need decent clothing, and your pants could certainly go a long way.   

If you wish to give something special to your loved one, yet you do not have a lot of dough, then maybe reimagining your jeans should do the job. It’s going to be unique, and your recipient will certainly appreciate your effort.
