I’ve always believed that denim will never go out of style. It’s a timeless fashion favorite. I’ve been wearing jeans since I was a kid, and have accumulated quite a collection of different styles. I am planning to declutter my closet and let go of the old ones. Instead of throwing them away, I want to give them a new life, by using them as decorations around the house.

I wasn’t sure what craft projects to make, so I searched online. I found this video by 1 minute craftsy and thought it was the perfect project to make with my old pair of jeans. Aren’t these flowers beautiful? I can place them in vases, or use them as a napkin tie or hair tie. You can also use it as an embellishment for your bags, hats, or dresses. There are so many options to choose from. Here’s how to make a pretty upcycled denim flower bouquet.
