Finding ways to recycle old and used items into new things can be fun and helpful to the environment. Some of my favorite crafts have come from old things that I have made into something new and exciting. This is something that I have done many times and given them away because they make great holders for notes on the fridge.

Materials Needed:

  • Denim jean pockets cut from old jeans
  • Fabric paint
  • Lace trim
  • Ribbon flowers
  • Fridge magnet
  • Hot glue or craft glue

Instructions:

  1. Carefully cut the pockets from the jeans.
  2. Beginning and ending at the back, glue lace trim around the top of the pocket.
  3. If desired, glue a small ribbon rose to each top corner.
  4. Write coupons or whatever you wish on the front in fabric paint, following the manufacturer’s directions.
  5. Glue a magnet to the back of each denim pocket and stick the fridge.
