21 Ways To Repurpose Those Old, Ratty Jeans You Can’t Wear Anymore

We’ve all got them…a pair (or 10) of old jeans that we really shouldn’t be wearing anymore either because they have too many holes, don’t fit, or are just out of style. Even if you’ve retired them from your repertoire, they continue to take up space in your wardrobe. If you can’t bring yourself to donate them, there are tons of other ways to reuse your old jeans around your home.

Claim back your closet all while avoiding a painful goodbye!
