I am so happy that you posted this:) LOVE that rag wreath! I have SO many jeans that need to be repurposed! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
Great ideas, Manuela! I love quite a few of them, but that wreath really grabbed my attention. Have a great week!
Those are some great ideas! The planters and the place mat were my favorites.
Super great ideas, I especially love the pillows. I would love for you to link up to my Inspire Me party that will go live this afternoon at 3 PM. http://www.astrollthrulife.net. Hope to see you there.
I put a sticky on my computer to remind me. Hopefully I won’t forget (I’m painting) 🙂
Great ideas! I especially like the rag wreath.
Thanks Donna! Yes, I like that rag wreath too. I’ve been meaning to make one out of some fabric scraps I leftover from another project.
So many good ones! I want to try several.
Oooh, I like the chevron pillow a lot! Remember making purses and things out of jeans as a teen? Everything old is new again:>) Happy Easter Manuela!
What great ideas! With all the jeans my son goes through some of these projects would be totally feasible….. maybe a great weekend project. =)
Such fun! Love them all and I was just otld yesterday that denim shirts are all the rage again!!
Happy Easter!

The bucket caddy is my favorite! I love that. I also love the placemat and pocket and the wreath.
