Adding trim is a great way to alter and update an old pair of denim jeans into fabulous red hat society clothing. Start by pre-shrinking the trim and garments then gluing the ends to prevent shriveled or puckered trim. For intricate detailing, add trim by hand to your denim's belt loops and pockets. Finally, add glitz by attaching rhinestones, plastic jewels, and red hat appliques.

You can also use denim to make a warm quilt or blanket.  First cut an old pair of jeans into squares, then design a unique pattern for your quilt.  When the design is finished, sew the denim into your brand new quilt. You can also expand denim detailing into pillow cases, chair cushions, and even chair covers. Variety can easily be brought to the jean theme by choosing different shades of denim and adding embroidery, patches, or fabric paint.

While baking red hat shaped cookies, don't forget your apron. To make the transformation from jean pants to kitchen apparel, simply cut apart the inseams and sew the fronts together. You can also create customized pot holders or place mats.

Add some edge to your bathroom with a new denim floor mat. Cut the denim into long strips that can be braided, knitted, or crocheted together, plus, you can mix in yarn and lace for contrast and color. You can also construct a wall hanging with jean pockets to hold hairbrushes, toothbrushes, and bottles.

Be creative. You'll not only give your purple jeans that red hat twist, you can also amplify the various rooms in your home. Enjoy the transformation in your wardrobe and your home.
