Ideas wanted for old/worn denim jeans

I have lots of ideas but never do them myself, even after telling myself that I should. How about make-up bags, tote bags, they can be any size. For the tote bags cut different pieces (each jean is a different shade) and sew them together to make a larger piece of fabric; Dad's outdoor Bar-B-que apron, or your daughter might like a 'cool' vest. All of these can be trimmed with so many of the nice trims, fancy buttons and appliques available. A bit of the fancy bead trims would look great on the make-up bags. Potholders could be plain or have kitchen appliques on them. Gee, now I want to do some, too, lol.

I also have saved some of the old jeans where the knees are worn,but the back of the leg is still good.I have a pattern for making slippers but haven't gotten around to make them.another one of those projects yet to be done.

Cuts thing strips out,and tie them in a knot around an elasctic band, and make hair scrunchies. You can glue rhinestones to the ends to jazz them up.

I was going to suggest making handbags not for you, but for your daughter. It's probably more "cool" for young girls to have denim bags than for us "grown ups". How about making a denim quilt cover or bedspread? Try this site for tips: http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpatternsprojects/ss/denim_quilts_2.htm, some fairly handy methods there. Some more suggestions: denim pencil case, denim makeup bag (add your own zips on these), a cool denim folder cover (I'm that your daughter would love that), denim plant pot holders? Hope these are helpful :)

I also use old/worn jeans as a wall organizer, simple cutting and designing presto you have a wall organizer........
