Jean Bracelets

I had some old pants that I've had forever and they where so full of holes I could hardly wear them any more. So I decided to upcycle them into bracelets.


 The first one is just a strip of jean tied around my wrist. 

The second I braided the jean pieces  then sewed either side of the braid so it would stay together. Then I over lapped the two ends and sewed them together t make a ring. I didn't like the seam where I sewed it together so I took another little piece of jean and sewed it in place after wrapping it around the place with the seam. 

Plarn! :)

Crocheting with some plarn that I made with the plastic bags from all over my house. At this point I'm planning on it being a reusable shopping bag. :) I knew a little about plarn before, but about 2 weeks ago I was reading a article in a crochet magazine and they were talking about being Eco friendly and this was one if there suggestions.

Today while I was bored and waiting for something to lead on my computer I googled "plarn" and found this really awesome video that showed very simply and easily how to make it, so I did. :) here is the video that finally inspired me to try it. Hope you enjoy it and it inspires you as much as it inspired me.
