Jean Pocket Upcycle
This project was inspired by Kim, you can check out her post here > https://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/casual-and-cute-blue-jean-coasters-26399592!
Have a pair of unwearable jeans lying around? Maybe even a button up that no longer fits? Here is the perfect way to give these unwearable cloths new life!
First, I cut the pocket off the back of my jeans. This cut doesn't have to be perfect you can trim it later.
Next, I took an empty drink bottle and marked the size of the pocket with a sharpie.
I then cut the marked area out of the bottle and trimmed the sides to make a flat rectangle of plastic.
After trimming off the extra jean off the pocket, I inserted the piece of plastic.
That's all there is to it! Now you have a funky coaster for your home, deck, poolside or anywhere! These are awesome because if a ring is made you can easily take out the plastic and throw the pocket in the wash making it good as new!

You could also cut one of those pieces of plastic used for cutting veggies that you can buy at any dollars store 2 for a dollar. I’ve used them to make patterns for making quilt and other projects. It’s a cute idea.
