Tips

Make a Purse from a Pair of Jeans

Try a neck tie for a handle.

Tips

The best part about this bag is the versatility of the look.

  • Have fun with the denim. Try putting on an iron-on patch or add an array of pins and buttons.

  • Change up the belt to renew your bag. Try belts with large or jeweled belt buckles. You can change your belt each season to match color trends. Even use a neck tie belt.

  • Switch up the handle with one of your favorite scarves. Thin, decorative scarves can be tied onto each side. Thicker, crocheted winter scarves can be safety pinned.

  • Use the extra leg material to make patches or different length handles.
