6 Ways to Upcycle Your Old Pair of Jeans

These DIY Ideas will ensure you never part with your favourite pair of jeans 

A pair of jeans that has torn from the centre can be fixed by using a sequins sheeting fabric and attaching it as a panel. This will make the jeans look funky. You can also pull out a few strands of denim threads above the panel you’ve stitched in, to give it a ripped and edgy look. 

Another way to wear old jeans is to pull out the denim threads at the bottom and give it a nice fringe. This frayed edge look always works. Pair this with a plain white shirt, or any top in solid colours.

A simple way to jazz up an old pair is to adorn the jeans with some colourful embroidery or embellish with stones and beads.

A pair of light coloured linen or cotton pants can be quirked up by experimenting with tie and dye. All you have to do is to tie them up in random spots all over the pants, splash the colours of your choice all over, wash and dry.

You can add a splash of colour to liven up an old pair of jeans. You can paint motifs on the back pockets of your jeans. The best paints to use are acrylic paints and make sure to use a base paint to really make the colours pop out.

At the moment, face masks have become an essential accessory.  We can create a mask out of denim jeans, the best part is we can utilise the pockets and make it a utility based face mask.
