  1. This project allows you to upcycle not only denim but also tin cans too! Marry the two with this gorgeous recycled jean planter. To make this planter unique and to show off the different shades of indigo in denim, use just the seams and hems for this upcycle. Seams and waistbands of jeans are definitely the most interesting bits that add character to any upcycle (along with the pockets of course). Don’t you think succulents and denim look awesome together?
