Give this upcycled jeans shoulder bag DIY from Wandee Easy Sewing a try – it’s a fantastic way to turn an old pair of jeans into a high-end accessory. By using the back panels of the denim after removing the pockets, you get a cool, multi-tonal look that highlights the bag’s handmade origins. Reinforce the structure with interfacing – it gives the 5.5-inch tall cylinder a crisp, professional shape that doesn’t sag.
What really sets this DIY apart are the “pro” touches, like the metal zipper closure and the addition of a leather strap. The bag is fully lined, meaning it looks just as good on the inside as it does on the outside. With a length of 8 inches and circular side panels, this cylindrical shoulder bag is the perfect size for your essentials while showing off a unique geometric silhouette that you just can’t find in most stores.
