Recycled Jeans Tin Can Planters

Recycled Jeans Tin Can Planters

"I always recycle and upcycle my old jeans. I love what I consider to be the interesting parts of a pair of jeans the seams and waistbands. However, these are really difficult to sew with as they are so thick, so I have to find other uses for them. This time I combined the seams and hems of my old jeans with some tin cans to make some gorgeous planters. I really like how the different colours of denim create an ombre effect and I think they look gorgeous with succulents planted in them. These planters would make a lovely gift."
