I decided to make this little Upcycled Denim Bag for my niece who is turning 12 this week.

I first cut one back pocket out of the jeans, then cut a section of the jeans thigh.

You leave it attached, unlike most instructions for this jot down of project.

Denim Purse 1

There is no real wrong way to do this denim bag.

Then, you lay your bag down on a piece of paper and trace around it.

Cut your tracing out and us it as a pattern to make the lining of the bag.

Jean Bag 2

There are instructions for a pocket in the lining, but it is completely optional.

Now you glue the pocket that you cut on the face of the bag.

I gave the DIY Upcycled Bag to my Niece and she was so thrilled!

Jean Bag 3

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did.
