I am particularly interested in the use of jeans for insulation in homes and would like some leads on where to donate the used jeans I’ve been collecting for a while. Of course, other uses would be fine as long as they involve recycled jeans. Thanks!

I think making them into pointless around the house items that you’ll never use is a waste. Put your jeans to good use. I give mine and my kid’s jeans and other clothes to Purple Heart.

Simplicity’s website has easy directions.

I mend and patch older jeans, and wear them for gardening. There’s not much left of them after that, and they become mechanic’s rags. Then they end up in the woodstove, since our recycling program doesn’t accept cloth items.

I’ve done this a few times and they turn out really nice and sturdy.

I’m sure we will all be hearing more about this in the future. They shred and weave it into batts similar to fiberglass insulation. It doesn’t have the potential health concerns of fiberglass. They didn’t mention the fireloading issue.

Just sewed patches together like you would for a quilt and then turned the outside edges under and sewed. Then coated it with 3 coats of polyacrylic on both sides. Waterproof rug for the deck!
