Make a Denim Pouch Pocket

Reduce, reuse, recycle, this is a great motto for crafters too!. Try using old denim jeans for your projects, and make some useable crafts. This pocket is very simple and yet useful to make.

Cut out the back pocket of a old pair of clean jeans, making sure to cut right through the seat of the jeans, so that you form a pocket within a pocket. (another words, don't just pick the pocket off the jeans, you need a backing to create the pocket).

If you would like your pouch pocket to have a fringe, then leave a 4 inch piece of denim fabric attached to the bottom of the pocket. Cut the fringe 1/4" wide strips up to the pocket, then wash your pocket, it will trigger the fraying.

Cut a piece of inseam from the jeans, or use decorative cording, and attach to the back of the pocket, this is your hanger. Hang the denim pouch pocket on the wall securely and you have a great storage pouch!,

This is great for beanie babies, small toys, stuffies, anything you can think of!. This is a great gift for a young teen, as they can decorate it themselves. Try using fabric paints, beads, more fabric, appliqué, there is all kinds of ways you can decorate your denim pocket.

Try making a few, and hang them together on a wall, back of a door, anywhere, when together it has a great effect on the wall. If you sell crafts for a business, try adding these to your craft show.. you will be amazed how well they sell, plus they are flat and easy to pack for a show. For an example, check out a page of my website http://www.make-crafts-for-cash.com/pouchpocket.html.

Denim can be used for many projects, and its a great way to recycle..

Strain Your Brain with Challenging 3d Puzzles

By: Michael Clark | 26/11/2009
When I think of a puzzle, I think more in terms of the jigsaw puzzle. I remember many years ago watching my Mother work for days on these puzzles that consisted of thousands of pieces and were mostly beautiful mountain or river scenes. I also have fond memories of my children spending a rainy afternoon utilizing small hands to construct pictures of bright red fire engines and brilliant yellow Big Birds. However, now the bar has been raised greatly with the creation of 3d jigsaw puzzles.

Diets for ballet dancers

By: Jessica James | 26/11/2009
Have you ever met someone who is overly concerned with their food intake, who sometimes starves themselves while other times overeats or who abuses medication in order to stay slim? These are all symptoms of serious eating disorders and their frequency in the dance community means it is likely that you or someone you know suffers from one.
