I don’t know why, but crafting is just so much more fun when you do it with unlikely random supplies and materials. Like a jean pocket from pants that no longer fit you!

If you are anything like me, then the pandemic left a lasting impression on your hips, and even though it’s been over, the extra 10lbs has remained!

Well rather than donating my (pre) fave jeans to Goodwill, I decided to do what any good crafter would do…..I turned them into a craft!

This Jeans Pocket Heart Sign is the best way to commemorate my skinnier days LOL!

Maybe you are luckier then me and don’t have jeans that are too tight. Maybe you are on the other end of the spectrum and can congratulate yourself by cutting up those jeans that are now too BIG! Either way, let’s get crafty for Valentines Day!

How to Make a Jeans Pocket Heart Sign

I made this adorable Jeans Pocket Heart Sign on video, so you can WATCH it or click on the picture right below.

Let’s start off by cutting the pocket out of your jeans. Once you cut it out, fray the edges a bit with your fingers to give it a frayed look so it’s not so straight edged.

Next cut your pink and grey “faux wood” scrapbook paper and Mop Podge it to the background of your frame. I originally left the frame unpainted, but decided on the Teal after I finished the project, the next day.

Glue your jeans pocket to your surface, and then prepare your wood heart.

I painted mine pretty pink, and added a small shoestring buffalo check bow to the top.

Next, I cut out a bunch of different hearts from scrapbook paper, burlap, and lacy burlap and then Mod Podged them to cardstock for some stability. You can get free heart shape templates to trace on Google, just search “free heart shape”.

Then glue them to the the surface so that they look like they are floating up out of the jean pocket. Use some foam or cardboard squares glued to the back of some of them as risers so that they are raised up off of the surface and give it dimension.

Here it is all done, before I decided to paint the frame teal.

Doesn’t the teal look sooooo much better? It really brings out the color in that floral scrapbook paper and makes it POP.

I added a simple pink and white bakers twine hanger and used the original holes to tie the string through and hang it.

I am so in love with this Jeans Pocket Valentines Heart Sign! You could do it in any color or theme that you like. Stick with traditional red Valentines Day, or fun pink, or go on the wild side like me!
