A few days ago, I cleaned my closet and removed old clothes I no longer use. I ended up having a ton of jeans that no longer fit me. As a DIY girl, I didn’t want to throw them away because I know there are so many things I could do with them. So, in the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing different ways to upcycle denim.

DIY Denim Flower Tutorial

Learn how to turn your old jeans into denim flowers with this easy tutorial.

Cutting the denim

Start by cutting 16 oval pieces from your denim. You can trace the oval pattern onto the fabric, but I prefer to simply place the pattern on top and cut directly. These are all from the same pair of jeans.

Arranging the pieces

Take a piece and set it aside. Divide the remaining pieces into 3 stack, with 5 pieces in each. You will be using 5 pieces for each layer.

Making the first layer

Grab your glass and the first stack. Fold a piece over the rim. Apply hot glue to one end of this piece, then place another piece so its side overlaps the glued area. Continue this around the rim until you form a complete circle.

Adding the next layers

For the next layers, repeat the same process but place them in between the pieces of the previous layer.

Covering the bottom

Take the piece that you set aside earlier. Add glue to the bottom of the flower, then place the last piece.

When I am not writing, you can find me outdoors, enjoying the sun with a cold drink in my hand.
