Got some old jeans lying around? You have to try this amazing upcycling project! This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to turn one adult-sized pair of jeans into a super cute and functional round denim handbag. It’s a great way to give new life to an old pair of jeans and get a stylish new bag at the same time.
You’ll start by cutting two 11-inch circles from the legs. You can even reuse the back pockets for some handy extra storage. To give the bag a nice, sturdy structure, you’ll add fusible fleece, and then you’ll fully line it for a polished, professional look. Most of the bag comes together with a machine stitch. Finish it off with a neat invisible hand stitch. You can add a magnetic snap or a bit of Velcro for a secure closure, and even use a keychain ring to add a crossbody strap. It’s such a fun and sustainable project!
