How To Make Upcycled Denim Bows (2 Ways)

"How to make two different kinds of bows from an old pair of jeans. Both are very simple quick crafts that only require a small amount of hand sewing. The first bow is a hipster-style bow tie made from the waistband and a belt loop. The second type of bow is made from scrap pieces of denim fabric following a simple pattern. The pattern is free to download on the site. These neater bows can be turned into hair bows or used to decorate bags and pillows."
