No one can walk down a busy street without seeing hundreds of pairs of denim jeans: on men, women, children, teens and basically any age group and gender. Denim jeans are durable, fashionable and relatively inexpensive. However, when worn for months and months, jeans can wear down. Fortunately, these jeans can also be fashionable as handmade denim purses.

Denim purses do not require many materials or much know-how to produce. They also give tattered, worn-down jeans new life. To make denim purses, all crafty individuals need, besides jeans, are scissors, a sewing machine and material for purse handles. Making a denim purse consists of about 10 steps, starting with cutting off the pants legs and ending with individualization and adding accessories. Instructions for producing denim purses easily be found online after a quick visit to any search engine. One particularly good guide to making denim purses is wikihow.com/Make-a-Denim-Purse.

The bottoms and sides of cutoff jeans should be used as the purse patterns. After cutting off the legs, making an internal divider is an optional step to take. This divider creates two spaces in denim purses, as opposed to having all objects thrown together in one area. After creating this internal divider, the remaining steps are quite easy – just a little more cutting and stitching parts together.

Handmade denim purses can have many different materials for the purse handles. Part of the denim jeans may be used. Or, for a more original look, scarves, decorative cord or thick ribbon can be used as purse handles. To further individualize denim purses, glitter, buttons, bows, patches, embroidery or other accessories could be added for a unique flair. Various purse patterns can add uniqueness to any bag.

Some people do not have the time or assume they do not possess the skills to create their own denim purses. Others simply just prefer professionally-made denim purses, even at higher prices. SouthernSisterDesigns.com sells denim purses with stunning, original purse patterns. Most denim purses at SouthernSisterDesigns.com cost between $30 and $55. One of the cute denim purses costs $48.95. It features a flower decal, a dangling star keychain, pink flower belt, pocket detailing, and beaded handles. A plus to this purse is its fabric-lined interior. Most of the denim purses at this online store feature similar flower and star accessories.

Handmade denim purses are a great way to be fashionable while saving costs, and an old pair of jeans. Making a purse from scratch insures that only the maker will have one like it – it is truly unique. Still, some people choose to purchase lovely denim purses online. While more expensive and not quite as original, these usually prove to be better made and more durable, since they are likely to be crafted from new, unworn jeans. Whether they are made at home or purchased, denim purses are a great addition to any fashionable outfit.
