I have a pair of jeans with a huge rip in the knee. I like the rip, although I think it’s a bit too large. In an effort to get out the door quickly I used some large safety pins inserted from the inside of the leg so that just the silver bands showed, looking somewhat like giant staples.

I'm feeling a little 80's grunge in these jeans today.

Later in the day my bracelet broke and I ended up with a handful of silver beads. H-mmm! I have an idea!

My jeans have their own jewelry!

Now I’d say that’s making lemonade out of lemons – one big rip + one broken bracelet = Irish Attic designer jeans.
