You dress yourself in jeans, but why stop there? Your bed could use a denim blanket like this one. After all, they don't call them "bedclothes" for nothing.

3. Braided Rug

While you're dressing your room in denim, don't forget the floor! I have something kind of like this in my room, too, only it's less of a "jean rug" and more of a "pile of jeans."

4. Wine Gift Bags

I know what you're thinking. Wine is pretty fancy, right? But what if you need a hostess gift for a more casual affair? Turn your pant legs into wine bags for a more "dressed down" look, and you're sure to be the life of the party no matter the dress code.

Few things are comfier than a good pair of jeans. And few animals are cuddlier than whales (right?). It's a match made in Heaven.

6. Pocket Organizer

Pockets are by far the most useful part of a pair of pants. Why not make them the most useful part of your office? Sew pockets onto a panel of fabric (might we suggest denim?) and store pens, rulers, and other office supplies for easy access.

Here's another idea for reusing jean pockets. Sew the two back pockets together, add a zipper, and voila! You've got yourself a brand new wallet. Now you can put pockets inyour pockets. Whoa.

Remember all the fun you and your pants had? Running through fields, rolling down hills, sitting on the couch....Let the fun continue with a game of Tic-Tac-Toe between you and another pants-wearer.

9. Planter

Do you know how much actual planters cost? At least a few dollars, whereas your old jeans are essentially free. Also, pants....pLants...honestly, it just makes sense.

11. From Pants to Skirt

Media Source

Maybe you're going to a cousin's wedding and she specifically said "no jeans." But did she say no skirts? Of course not. Skirts are fancy, no matter what material they're made of.

12. Denim Tote Bag

Media Source

There's a reason jeans are made out of denim: it's durable. Make a long-lasting tote bag out of a couple different pairs and use it for a beach bag. For added interest, use fabric from jeans in varying colors.

13. Water Bottle Holder

Sure, you could just carry your water bottle in your hand, but what if you want to clap? Or go rock climbing? You'll need a holder for your water bottle. Once again, your jeans have got you covered.

Feel free to make a mess while you're cooking in this fancy apron. Just toss it in the wash with your non-apronized pants and it'll be good as new. Or, er, used.

Your mom might have told you not to wear your holey pants ever again, but she'll never suspect it if you turn them into jewelry! You can add a little bit of lace to make them extra fancy.

16. Belt Loop Earrings

And while you're at it, save the belt loops and turn them into earrings! Wow, your outfit is really coming together.

17. Fabric Scrap Bracelets

Media Source

To complete the look, make some bracelets to match your necklace and earrings. Suddenly, your old holey jeans are the fanciest thing you own. (Note: if your old holey jeans are actually the fanciest thing you own, it may be time to go shopping.)

18. Decorative Flowers

Media Source

These cute jean flowers can be used to decorate just about anything. Pillows, wreaths, hairbands, maybe even another pair of jeans! The only limitation is your imagination (and how many pairs of old pants you have).

19. Holiday Wreath

Media Source

You can also use your old jeans to make a festive wreath! Hang it up to celebrate the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, or Jeans Day. What's that? You say Jeans Day doesn't exist? Wrong! Every day is Jeans Day!

20. Stockings

Media Source

Speaking of festive denim decorations, why not make a stocking out of your leftover fabric (assuming you have any after all these great ideas)? If you put extra pockets on the outside, you'll get extra presents. That's how stockings work, right?
