No Sew Upcycled Jean Coaster
Denim Jean Coaster Instructions
-
Find the sid of the jeans that has the seam that has the double stitching. This will be the most sturdy.
-
Cut that seam part out of the jeans. Trim the excess bits of jean off the seam of the jeans you are going to use.
-
Use the shorter piece of your jean seam on the inside and the longer pieces on the outside.
-
Run a bead of glue down the center of the seams. Be sure to not do the entire strip at once because the glue will dry before you get to it. Begin rolling the jean up on itself.
-
Repeat this process down the rest of the line of your seam. As you continue to roll try and keep it so that the piece stays flat and does not become cone shaped.
Tip: As your piece gets larger use the edge of your table to roll your jean coaster up evenly. -
When you are ready to join the second seam onto your first rolled seam, simply place a dot of glue at the end of the seam and connect them. Then, repeat the rolling process along your second seam.
-
Place a pin at the very end of your last seam that you roll up and allow that to dry over night. Then, your denim coaster is ready for use!
