Dear everyone, today a selection of simple and trendy ideas about how to reuse denim to create a unique wallet! For same of them you can get the tutorial for free too, for other you can simply buy the wallet or get inspired! Have a look….

The first idea is by Dig’s Art: here just an image of what you can create and below the tutorial.

And least, but no last the “skull wallet” by Quixotic

That’s the creative and fun ideas for recycling by Ilaria Chiani aka “Ilaria Chiani Cactus” and she told me “I used to make my cactus with all stuff even junk I can get around: denim, food packaging, old rain covers, vintage textile, even P&P box/bags! The internal structure is on wood, so that the cactus can’t “sag”. Then I create the foam padding and wadding. They are entirely handmade and I need 1 to 4 days to make them. The largest is two feet, the yellow one in the picture below.”

She is always very active within Arts exhibitions like “Mamastore” in Thiene, “Orange Blue” in Thiene, “ Spazio Nadir” in Vicenza, RIARTECO in Firenze. Find out more about her look at Ilaria Chiani Cactus’s blog.

“All vintage, any vintage. Most of my materials are from previous garments. I cut, hand paint, dye, bead and otherwise *mangle* to get what I want. Because of this everything is strictly speaking ONE-OF- KIND (OOAK)” says Delight Worthyn, the woman self taught artist, seamstress and milliner.

She creates lots of original and unique Wearable Pieces of Art but I’m crazy for her amazing hats:

“I am excited about a new technique for making headpieces (or whatever I end up calling them). All recycled fabrics. Mostly hand painted T shirts with some antique lace.”

…finally Delight Worthyn says “Believe it or not, all the silk in this headpiece is from previous garments. Even the birdcage veil is vintage, coffee brown and difficult to come by. Very limited supply. The flowers are all handmade and painted with fabric dyes to add depth. The flower centers are beaded by hand” … “Ok …I am not going to lie, there is quite a bit of labor here but results speak for themselves.”

Don’t lose any second: have a look at Delight Worthyn’s blog and enjoy!

Amy from Progressive Pioneer gives a great way to pack your kids lunch by using reusable items: “Instead of oodles of plastic bags and disposable accoutrements, how about a cute, reusable lunch sack, sandwich bag, and a few sources for thermoses and silverware? I made mine out of an old pair of jeans so there was minimal sewing involved. In fact, the whole project is so simple you might be tempted to have your kids make their own lunch sets!” Think about the waste that can be reduced & eat healthy food also means no contamination with plastic or leach yucky chemicals into the drinks!
