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!

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!

Another use for this is in a school locker. Teacher can also put them on the front of a desk for things that kids need access to such as extra pencils.

This is a fantastic craft to do with these old pockets. I use the jeans to make reg quilts which are perfect for picnic blankets. This craft would also be great for my day care kids to turn into great gifts for Xmas. Thankyou for this suggestion.
