Summer is here, my sweaters are all put away and now I have nothing to wear except T-shirts. Sound familiar? If your summer fashion selection is limited and so is your budget, you need to see this cool top you can make with an old pair of blue jeans. Chic and stylish but absolutely free, how can you turn this one down? Seriously, what do you have to lose? Whether you want something  cool to wear to a picnic, a new look for the music festivals you intend to hit or just something casual but cute to throw on this summer, this DIY crop top just may be the item your wardrobe has been missing.

Ok, ladies, we’ve all got a pair of old jeans that we can part with for this amazing project AND you can never go wrong when making an article of clothing out of denim! I was stupefied and excited when I saw this tutorial! I think this is brilliant and I often wonder how people come up with these incredible ideas. I guess necessity is the mother of invention, right?

Crop tops have been one of my favorite trends for a while now…especially if you live in a hot part of the country! They’re fun to wear and they’re so versatile – and, contrary to some beliefs, most of us can rock a crop top! If not, they’re always a great accent to wear under a sweater or jacket in the fall or winter! These pieces of fabric can get pretty pricey, especially if you’re more focused on having a good summer than working all the time, to make money, so you can go shopping.

So why not take the old clothes you don’t wear anymore and turn them into something useful and cute? It’s much easier than you’d think! It’s phenomenal what people re-fashion old jeans into! I’ve seen laptop covers, dresses, denim roses, dog coats, you name it! Just browse Pinterest to see some of these brilliant ideas!

Meanwhile, watch what Miss JennyB18 does in her step by step tutorial so you can create something awesome out of those old jeans in your closet!
