It's widely known that denim is a hardy material. So, don't throw your jeans away when fashions change as there will be still so much wear left in them, for your plants that is...

Claire Armstrong owner of @pillarboxblue says: "Don't you think succulents and denim look fantastic together? I do! So, I've used this recycled jean planter for my succulents. I love their rustic look." What's great about this denim upcycle project is that it's 'no sew'. All you need are tin cans, cut-off hems and seams from old jeans and good-quality glue.
