We’ve crafted many projects using denim as fabric. We’ve made a personalized denim banner, a market tote and my recent quilt included a whole pair of jeans. But since I had the whole back of the jeans left, I wanted to use up the scraps. I saved the denim fabric for another project but there were a bunch of un-usable thick seams left over. Then, I came up with an idea of using them up as stamps!
Here is how to make easy peasy stamps using edges and seams from denim scraps from jeans.
First, you want to find a bit of scrap with a seamed edge. Then begin to roll your scrap up along the edges very tightly.

What a great idea! I cut up some jeans for a tote bag, but was stuck w/ what to do w/the hemmed bottoms of the legs! Thank you!
You are welcome! I’m sure you can come up with some fancy schamancy designs with all those leg hems. Have fun!
Love this idea.
Clever!
Thanks!
What I love about using these hems is that they are pliable so you can shape them in any shape you want. You can sew them up to make them more permanent or you can use the pins to secure them and change them up later if you want. Enjoy!
Cool idea!
It looks good too.
Thanks Unni. The picture doesn’t do justice. I would have rather used craft paper with more colorful paints and inks….and a prettier bow.
[...] 1. Make stamps. Use those small denim scraps to make fun, repurposed stamps! [...]
Yet another craft with old jeans! great idea! My family ( kids, sisters, in-laws) know not to throw out jeans, but to give them to me! even if they are beyond wearing… they are priceless to me… thank you for a great idea…
