Recycling old jeans into bags

Lori’s jean bagsWe had an email from Lori the other day about the bags and things she makes out of old jeans.

You can be a “jeanius” like me, too!! RECYCLE!

As lover of both recycling and puns, how could I resist? ;)

Her range includes bags and accessories just using the fabric and items more obviously a former pair of jeans/denim skirt – ready-made pockets = win!

She also has some random fun things for sale – like this cheque book sleeve made using an old M&Ms wrapper. I think this is very cute and fun but unfortunately now have an insatiable desire for sugar-coated chocolate treats. Thanks Lori, thaaaaanks. :)

Anyway, you can find Lori’s things at http://loriforney.etsy.com

  1. “Jeanius” sigh. I guess anyone to make a pun merits a good post or two. It’s an interesting idea though. I wonder if they will catch on as a fashion though?

    I’m really beginning to suspect that this recycled jewelry and green fashion might really catch on either this year, or at the beginning of 2009.

    This sturdy fabric is great to make back pack as well. What about car seats? They will last forever!
