DIY| Recycled Denim Tote

I found an old jeans of mine that I haven't worn in years but loved it enough to not never throw it out. I finally came up with an idea to transform my jeans into something new and fun. I have always wanted to make tote bags but I never felt inspired by any of the fabrics I have around the house. I decided to used these old pants to make my tote. The denim has aged but is remains thick. So I was excited to see how it would hold up as a tote. I believe I did a great job that is for my first time.

I was researching where online someone could sell or buy a denim tote bag. To my surprise there is quite a market for these bag. Both eBay and Esty have a large selection of handmade denim tote. The price range on these sites are significantly different. However, you can find the style denim bag for just about any denim lover being offered on these two sites.
