Blue jeans are GREEN!


It seems I always want to purchase a pair of blue jeans whenever I am out shopping. Rarely do I wear them to the office, so why do I need another pair? I already have so many! Recently, I gave 2 pairs away, then I remembered my blog and wondered what I could blog about in reference to recycling my old beloved blues jeans. After surfing the net and seeing all the crafty things l could do with my jeans..... like make an apron, use one of the old pockets for my cell phone holder (PRETTY), make a purse, or a denim tool pouch. I decided I am not one of those crafty kind of gals. Other ideas were to give your jeans to Salvation Army. Some tell you to get money off your next purchase of jeans by trading your old ones in. Then I discovered "going blue to green"! WOW! This is an INSULATION for the home, and it comes from your beloved pair of blue jeans! "Going blue to green" is definitely cool, and as much as I love the panther... Pink is out! Here is the website with a video that shows the process. Turn your bluejeans into green jeans and enjoy your contribution to the green movement!
