Turn your jeans inside out and then using the (fabric glue) glue the bottom of your jeans closed leaving about 1/2 inch of seam allowance. allow the glue to dry
If you choose you can also sew the jeans closed. keep in mind denim is very thick so make sure you have the correct needle on your machine.

Using the left over pant legs cut out the seams, these can be glued or tied on to make handles.

This is the fun part, you can decorate with patches, bandannas, beads, rhinestones, paint, markers etc.

Velcro, button, zippers or snap closures can be used to close your purse.
