GARDEN TOOL BELT

Same as above, except sew only the legs together. Add a belt, unzip the zipper. It will then open and you can put it around your waist to hold your hand implements.

ARM REST, CHAIR BACK, END TABLE OR COFFEE TABLE COVERS

Take the legs, cut down one edge and remove the heavy seams along the edge and bottom. Measure for desired length, allowing for a 1/4 inch hem. Hem all the way around. Place on arm rests, chair backs, coffee tables or end tables.

MOST UNIQUE OF ALL. I LOVE MINE

If you like country things, you will love this one. What to do with old boots. Here is your answer!

Keep legs of jeans intact after removing them from the top. Get your husband's old pair of work or cowboy boots. Cut a length of 2x4 the same length as the jean legs.

Put the 2x4 inside the legs, and then down into each boot. Nail through the bottom of the boot into the end of the 2x4.

Cut a desired square or round size from 3x4 inch plywood. Attach to legs. Nail or staple the top of the jeans to either the top of the 2x4 or the underside of the tabletop. You can nail directly from the top into the 2x4.

Stain the wood to desired color or leave raw. Apply a good weatherproof sealant to the top.

Voila!

You have now made a very unique table for your home or deck. You will get so many compliments. Everyone you know will want one!
