Cosmetic bag from old jeans
A cosmetic bag or a small handbag is a very necessary thing for any fashionista. In a denim cosmetic bag, you can store not only lipsticks and mascaras, cosmetics, but also small bottles of perfume, manicure accessories and many different little things.

Stages of work:
- Cut the jeans pockets very carefully.
- We pin the zipper to the inside of the pockets with pins.
- Sew on, retreating from the edge about 10 mm.
- Fold the pockets by tucking the zipper inside.
- We sew the pockets together, additionally make two lines at the top to securely fasten the zipper.
- We decorate the outer parts of the finished cosmetic bag. You can decorate with embroidery, various stripes, pins or badges.
You can attach a beautiful tassel to the zipper. That's all your cosmetics are ready.

To make a decorative jeans basket, we need:

Decorative pillows from jeans
Decorative denim pillows on the sofa will look very original and beautiful. How to make them.
The easiest way to make a decorative pillow is to sew two squares. The sides of the pillow can be sewn from any other, preferably colored fabric.
- First, two squares are cut out of unusable jeans,
- Sewn together on three sides from the seamy side.
- The fourth side is only half sewn up.
- The seams are processed.
- The pillowcase must be turned out and filled with some soft element. It can be foam rubber, cotton wool. Or insert a ready-made pillow into a decorative pillowcase.
- The pillow is then sewn up. The pillow can also be decorated with embroidery, decorative ribbons, fringes.
Imagine, create, dare, give a second life to your denim things, but do not throw them away, use to create beautiful, original, necessary things
