Upcycling Denim // ONLINE TUTORIAL

Denim ticks all the upcycling boxes. It's durable, accessible, efficient and opens sooooo many creative possibilities. So we've detailed a series of practices to get the most value from the world best upcycling material source. 

Why denim is the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) of upcycling:

  • Durability. Denim is designed for longevity and abrasion resistance. This means more often than not, the useful life of the material has years of use left when it exits its previous life. 

  • Accessibility. Whether it's due to the crutch blowing out or the style going out of fashion, whatever the cause, there's a shit load of denim that's entering landfill every day. That's where you come in! Pop down to your local op shop and they'll no doubt have an abundance of damaged denim unfit for resale. Check out more details on how to source waste materials here. 

  • Efficient. The world of upcycling means we're usually dealing with materials in a range of shapes, states and sizes. Denim jeans are one of the rare exceptions with some level of consistency. As we will see in this tutorial, there are multiple approaches to how we do this, but each approach we can repeat again and again to the same or similar results. How good?!
