Denim Craft : Colorful Flower Frame

DENIM CRAFT: COLORFUL FLOWER FRAME 

I love to recycle old blue jeans into something fun. I had collected several pairs and fabric dyed them in different colors and have used them for a bunch of different projects. This flower frame made from colored denim is just one example.

Some other colored denim crafts I’ve made include these colorful denim beads and these denim fabric flowers.

For this frame it’s really easy. Get yourself one of those $1.00 wood frames from the craft store and paint it. Then simple cut flowers and stems from colored denim and glue them on.


Materials :
  • Plain wooden frame
  • Old blue jeans
  • Dark blue acrylic craft paint
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun
  • Clothing dye or colorful acrylic paints
Instructions
  • Paint the frame with dark blue craft paint and set it aside to dry.
  • Cut green denim into thin strips of varying lengths for the flower stems. Glue them to the frame, ensuring you have three different heights of stems on each side of the frame.
  • Cut flower petals from different colors of denim, cutting them in the shape of a teardrop, six per flower. Glue the petals together to form each flower.
  • Cut circles from the colored denim for the centers of the flowers. Glue the circles to the centers then glue the flowers to the stems.

21 Earth Day Crafts and Classroom Activities Using Recycled Materials Save the earth, make art. Buying brand new craft supplies to celebrate and learn about Earth Day? That seems squarely out of sync with the recycle-reuse-renew lessons we are teaching our students. Instead, let’s raid your recycling bins for craft supplies and then try one of these Eco-savvy, hands-on activities that are sure to excite students. 1. Create a hanging garden. Large plastic bottles become beautiful hanging planters in this green-living and green-thumb project. You can send the planters home with students, or hang them on campus for a gorgeous hanging garden to promote the Recycle Rally program at your school. The video below will show you exactly how to make these planters. 2. Up-cycle trash into flower art. Scraps of paper are the only supplies you need for this  recycled flower garden activity and lesson . The measurement and math element is an added bonus.
