Recycling Denim:
Denim Pocket Magnets



by Twila Lenoir

Those sturdy jean pockets live on long after the jeans have died, when you recycle them into practical and pretty denim pocket magnets. Stick one on the fridge to store scraps of note paper and a pencil for jotting those quick reminders; make another to tuck in your current store coupons.

Don't forget to make a few for the students in your home - these make great locker magnets too!

Denim Pocket Magnets


Supplies:

  • denim jean pockets cut from old jeans

  • fabric paint

  • lace trim

  • ribbon flowers (optional)

  • fridge magnet

  • hot glue or craft glue

    Blue Jean Pocket Magnets


    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 "Notes" 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. Enjoy!
