How to Make a Coaster by Repurposing Old Jeans

Discover how to make a coaster by repurposing old jeans with this quick and easy step-by-step tutorial. These DIY coasters can be made in an hour (or less) and will keep your coffee table free of water stains and other unsightly rings. The frayed edges of these denim coasters give them a distressed look, which is really on trend— at a fraction of the cost. Since they're upcycled, you won't be too afraid of damaging them. After all, when one pair of jeans wears out, another set of coasters come in. You won't need a lot of material to make a set of four coasters, so you can make additional sets and give them away as housewarming gifts or personalize one for every member of your family. 

These coasters are also great for practicing and experimenting with embroidery stitches, so feel free to add your own twist to this project! Oh, and don't forget to show us in the comments below. We'd love to see your unique creations.
