Jeans Recycling?
Is it true that there is a place you can drop off your old jeans to be recycled and they will pay you in return? Kind of like recycling cans and such?
If so, tell me how to get ahold of them! Im in northern cali
I can’t think of any place that will buy your old jeans. You can donate to may organizations and it can be tax deductible.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH THOSE BLUE JEANS….
Why not make some crafts from them and
Sell the crafts you have made .
For example………….
You could cut off the legs and make a pillow out of the the top part. Sew up the leg parts and the waist band and stuff it through the zipper.
Made purses out of old jeans. Cut off just under the crotch of the jeans, and cut in half so that when you sew it together, you have the zipper and button, as well as the back and side pockets. (You can use the side pockets that have the smaller “watch” pocket inside the larger one…Women need space you know) The top was narrower than the bottom but you could always undo the zipper. You can decorate with odd buttons and bells sewn on, and the strap can be an old pair of beads, cut in one spot and the two ends sewn on inside the top lip of the purse. Use any mismatched buttons your grandma collected and the pink beads you got in ‘86 that you know you’ll never wear again. Have fun with it.
Take a pair of old jeans that are still not too faded and use them to make Christmas stockings. Just use the legs to cut out the main stocking. Cut an inside lining out of printed fabric of your choice. Sew it together and fold the inside lining down. Put on a jeans pocket and any other decoration you want on the front.
Jean Backpack
Take your jeans and cut them off two inches below the crotch. Turn them inside out and sew. Sew over the first stitches once more for strength. Take a cool bandanna or scarf and thread through belt loops to make a drawstring closure. Cut strips off the unused portion of jean and make straps. Enjoy!
Save old blue jeans. Cut out the bad parts.
Cut the rest into 8 inch squares.
Sew together. Use an old blanket for filling.
Tie together with red yarn.
I bet if you do some research you can find a lot more craft items to make from old bluejeans!
