Jeans are Alyssa’s go-to, which means she goes through a lot of them-and then refuses to throw them away, “since I’m a hoarder denim is so expensive.” While living in Japan, Alyssa has to make her own Fourth of July decorations. At Alyssa & Carla this awesome expat is showing us how her worn out jeans will play a starring role this year!
Alyssa traced and cut out five felt stars, then started cutting flat pieces of denim into squares. She drew lines into the fabric and used her scissors to create the fringe, which she then turned into a tassel using fabric strips and hot glue. She alternated tassels and red stars to create a fabulous patriotic garland. Way to represent abroad, Alyssa!

Aw, thanks for the feature! So glad you like the project.
