How to Make a Purse Out of Old Jeans

Forget about giving the shirt off your back. To make this tote, you literally must pull the pants off your legs. Fortunately, you don't have to give them to anyone except yourself.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Old jeans
• Rhinestones
• Studs
• Sewing machine or needle and thread

1. Cut a pair of old jeans just below the crotch, turn the pants inside out and sew closed, forming a pouch.
2. Use material from the legs to sew a handle.
3. Adorn with rhinestones, appliques, whatever. Anything goes!
