As you know, September is all about remaking old jeans into new denim loveliness. For today I’d like you to welcome my first guest-poster EVER, a sweet and amazingly creative friend of mine. Let’s see what kind of Drop-Dead Denim she’s dreamed up… Take it away, Michelle!
(I love old work jeans after my husband works them to death – so much character! But yours don’t have to be this beat up. Any jeans will do.)
Depending on the relative sizes of leg and shade, it may require some tugging and grunting to get the shade all the way in.
Note: if you use boot cut or flared jeans, it will be easier and you will have more of a bell shape.
Step three: spend a moment dorking around with any available pets or children.
(The Sorting Hat put him in Hufflepuff. But he was hoping for Ravenclaw, waaah!)
So rack your brain and rummage your junk drawers, and add your own personal style to the basic look. It’s super duper easy, and a great denim upcycle.
Super nice 🙂

Hi Hele, your projects are awesome! I especially love the monsters! SO cute!
Love the lampshades and no sew part! How simple this is – just scissors and ribbon. As always,Michelle, you make things look so simple to make!!! Love it.
What a cute idea. I love using old pant cuffs…now I have a new way to use them. 🙂
What a cute idea. Especially love that it's no-sew 🙂 Nice that such a simple project can be customized in a hundred different ways as well.
I have a lamp shade I wanted to change for my granddaughter and you have given me the perfect way to do it! Thank you!
