We've all heard the saying, "Reduce, reuse, RECYCLE." But can that apply to jeans? Of course! Before you throw out those old pairs of jeans that your kids outgrew consider recycling them.
The most obvious way to recycle jean pants is to cut them into jean shorts or for girls - jean capris. "Cut-offs" never go out of style.
There are also dozens of craft projects that can be done with old jeans, including:
Placemats
Potholders
Wine bags
Pocket purses
