I cut up an old pair of jeans for another project and didnt want to just throw away the left overs... i used things i had in my craft froom so this project was free for me. heres an idea I had for the pockets. comes in handy when you wear an outfit that doesnt have pockets itself and u dont want to carry a purse.

heres my first tutorial!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Tulle
  • Eyelets
  • Old Pair Of Jeans With Back Pockets
  • Ribbon

Steps (11 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    first take a pair of old jeans with back pockets. (this works best with jeans that have lids to their pockets, like a button or zipper.)

    chalk outline some tabs and cut it out, keeping the pocket intact.

  2. 2

    this is what it will look like. do not cut off the back when cutting out the pocket!

  3. 3

    i added eyelets to the tabs so i could string ribbon through so it would hold to my wrist. (if your tabs are long enough and can meet around your wrist then a button and hole would work too.)

  4. 4

    like this!

  5. 5

    use a lighter to slightly burn the edges to keep them from fraying. be careful not to burn ur whole project up (ask me what happened to the other cuff lol)

  6. 6

    tie it with ribbon.

  7. 7

    you can stop here for a cuff that is more versitile

    ooor u can add pretty tulle like i did in the next step!

  8. 8

    take a few layers of wired tulle and lay them ontop of each other.

    sew them to the tabs of ur wristcuff.

    (DO NOT SEW THE POCKET CLOSED!)

  9. 9

    this is what the front looks like after its been sewn.

  10. 10

    tie it one and pinch the bottom of the tulle to make it all ruffle-y!

  11. 11

    put ur drinking money in it and go out dancing! lol
