recycled kids blue jeans as usa map artwork

Recycling kids’ blue jeans has become quite an art for some. Finding a use for the flat stretches of un-seamed denim is pretty simple. Those larger pieces can be made into quilts, gift bags, and stuffed animals, to name a few.

But what about all the extra pieces like pockets, zippers, seams, and waistbands? Those I generally toss out as unusable but after seeing these fabulous pieces of artwork, I realize every part of a pair of jeans can have a second home.

I found this artwork when researching ways to reuse holey jeans so here are more recycling ideas for kids’ blue jeans…..into artwork for their bedroom walls.

Wind stretches of stitched seams into pinwheels and randomly attach to a backboard covered with denim. Love the mix of blues!

Clever use of waistband and belt loops into stripes of the flat. Even see a few buttons in the mix.
