It is ready now to put our small things inside.👇👇
Instructions:
1.Fabric Preparation: Cut a rectangular piece of denim from your old jeans.The dimensions will depend on your desired wallet size (remember to add seam allowances).I used approximately 6 inches wide by 8 inches tall for my wallet.
2.Cutting the Denim: Carefully cut out your denim piece, ensuring straight edges. It's helpful to use a ruler and rotary cutter for precision.
3.Zipper Prep:Prepare your zipper.If you're using a metal zipper, you may want to gently press the zipper pull to the side to keep it out of the way during sewing.
4.Attaching the Zipper:Place the zipper face down along the top edge of your denim piece, matching the raw edges.Pin securely.
5.Sewing the Zipper: Stitch the zipper to the denim, using a sewing machine or hand-sewing.Sew close to the zipper teeth.
6.Sewing the Sides:Once the zipper is attached, fold the denim piece in half, right sides facing each other.Pin the sides together, matching the raw edges.
7.Sewing the Seams: Stitch the side seams together, leaving a small opening at the bottom for turning.
8.Turning and Finishing:Turn the wallet right side out through the opening you left.Press the seams neatly.Hand-stitch or machine stitch the opening closed.
Optional Embellishments:If you want more look stunning must 👇👇
- Add decorative stitching to the seams.
- Embroider a design onto the denim.
- Attach a decorative zipper pull.
- Add a button or snap closure.

This is so cute! I love projects that use recycled fabric to make utilitarian things, that's really giving new life to stuff. The design is nice and clean, I would love to try to make one and paint some flower motif on it. Thanks for sharing your project! 💞
that's fantastic! I'm happy to hear you're inspired to try making one yourself. If you need any tips or clarification on the instructions, feel free to ask. Remember to pre-wash your recycled fabrics before starting, and consider using fabric paint designed for the type of material you're using. I look forward to seeing your finished creation!
Smart way to recycle your old jean into something useful. A really stylish wallet that is.
