How to Make a Purse out of an Old Pair of Jeans, AKA DIY “Bag of Ass”

Today we are going to RECYCLE a pair of JEANS! Just how Lifetime Television 4 Women loves to recycle the girl who played Rice in Beethoven.

Thank garsh I already had a pair of amazing denim bellbottoms that I could bastardize into a craft.  Was so not in the mood to hit up Goodwill and frantically ricochet through racks of battle-weary pleather with trembling lips and a Panda Express-induced side cramp. Steps below!

The purse is perfect for all my everyday essentials.

STEP 1: Gather supplies: colorful scarf, thick gold chain (the thicker, the flossier), 2 metallic clips, velcro dots, hot glue gun, scissors, and some sick 90s patches that you keep locked away in a happyface tupperware, just me??

STEP 2: Pillage a pair of jeans or denim shorts from your closet or local thrift shop. Choose something cool if you can- preferaby something crumpled and forgotten that you can resurrect. I recommend using a pair with some room, as opposed a pair of labia-numbing skinny jeans.  That is, of course if one of your priorities is to fit a Costco box of super tampons in your purse so you don’t have to pay an extra 10 cents for a bag. #SANTAMONICA

STEP 3: Give the pants an “Imma cut you, bitch” look

STEP 4: Watch the video to learn how to do the rest
