Jean Seam Christmas Garland

November 21, 2014 by Cyndee 2 Comments

Christmas Jean Seam GarlandJean Seam Christmas Garland

Another project after cleaning out a drawer.

I’ve used jean seams in a number of projects, I’ve even made seam garland for everyday decor, but my stash of jean seams and a jar of Christmas light bulbs had the wheels turning in my head for Christmas garland.

1-DChristmas Jean Seam GarlandThe garland itself is made just like the red and green construction paper chain garlands you made in elementary school. Each link was secured with hot glue.

1-DChristmas Jean Seam GarlandI attached jute to the bulbs and simply tied them to the chain links.

Snowman Jean Pockets

November 20, 2014 by Cyndee 7 Comments

5-DSCF2296Snowman Jean Pockets

7-DSCF2303I seem to be seeing snowmen everywhere.

6-DSCF2298Since I’m nearing the end of my craft show crafting for this year I’ve been digging through boxes and drawers for quick inspiration. With one more show, I really don’t need to make a lot of anything. Actually my husband would say I don’t need to make anything else because our inventory is always overflowing. 😉 That hasn’t stopped me from emptying a few drawers though…and that’s a good thing. Purging by way of projects makes me happy!

4-DSCF2279I found 13 jean pockets I had been holding on to. Normally I would wait until I had more to craft a project, but for now these were perfect.

3-DSCF2275Snowmen are so easy to paint.

I whipped these up while watching a movie. Hallmark has lots of Christmas movies.

2-DSCF2273The handles are strips of ripped fabric that I threaded through little holes. The holes were made using my Crop-A-Dile, but you could use scissors or a fat nail.

1-DSCF2270They looked a bit plain until I added a few bits of pine greenery and a candy cane.

5-DSCF2296I think they would be awesome as a small gift or favor bag.

They would also look cute hanging on a tree.

Enjoy!

Craft a Jean Seam Wreath-Tutorial

March 17, 2013 by Cyndee 16 Comments

5-DSCN5280When you craft, don’t you just hate to throw away even the tiniest scrap? I decided to use my considerable scrap pile of jeans to craft a jean seam wreath. Since the seams are harder and thicker than the fabric of the jeans, using them in sewing projects is next to impossible. A project using a hot glue gun was my easy answer.

1-DSCN5267I cut all the flat-fell seams and hems from my jean scraps. The flat-fell seams are usually the inseam of jeans. They are the easily identified seam that has two parallel top stitching lines. Be prepared to cut a lot of them.

2-DSCN5268Each seam was then cut long enough to wrap around the thickness of a foam wreath. I hot glued them around the wreath, mixing the colors and shades for random design.

3-DSCN5270Ouchie Tip: To prevent burned or blistered fingers, keep a bowl of ice water nearby to dip your fingers in if they get hot glue on them…not that that has ever happened to me. 😉

4-DSCN5272The flowers were made from jean hems. Each one was cut 6 inches long, rolled up and hot glued to hold the shape.

5-DSCN5280The flowers were hot glued to the wreath.

A variation of this project can be achieved with fewer jeans or their scraps. Simply cut the denim in 1/2-inch-wide strips. Attach them in the same way as the seams and the hems.

Enjoy!
