I have loved or shall I say drooled over MacKenzie Childs home décor for years. I just love looking through their catalogs and savoring each whimsical detail as if the catalog itself is a Belgian truffle. I must admit that while I love their furniture and home accents, I do not love their price tags and that is probably why I only own one MacKenzie Childs product- their wonderful checkered teapot and the box it came in- thank you…
These make me so happy:) Why? Well if you aren’t happy just looking at these recycled jean placemats let me explain… Repurposing is becoming this happy little addiction of mine and this project uses old jeans, scraps of fabrics, and then topping it off with needle felting (which I also loooove) and using my bedazzler! Wow…oh happy day:) They look great on the table and for picnics you can just add the silverware and napkins, roll them…
Time to clean out your closet or take a trip to the closest resale shop and gather up an assortment of jeans with different finishes, cords, and maybe some old wool or velvet skirts and shirts to repurpose them into a great quilt! This recycled jean quilt is perfect for any home and makes a super gift for a graduate heading to college. You can even make them feel extra special by embroidering their name…
