SLC31-W2 | The Green Journey | Making Pot Holders from Old Jeans (Upcycling DIY)
Assalamu Alaikum I hope everyone is well. Today I am going to participate in week-2 of “The Green Journey” challenge. This challenge teaches us how we can save the environment through Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R). We throw away a lot of old clothes every day, especially jeans which are very strong. Today I have made a pot holder using those old jeans. It is not only environmentally friendly, but also very useful in our daily work.

Step 2:
Then I cut the fabrics evenly and arranged them together. I used two or more layers. So that it is thick and my hands are protected from heat.
Step 3:
Then I sewed the jeans fabric around the edges with a sewing machine. Then I turned it over. So that both sides look beautiful.

3.¿Estás usando materiales de desecho o retazos de telas para elaborar el proyecto de upcycling?
Yes, I used all the old jeans and discarded pieces of fabric in this project.This is a great example of Upcycling. Because I converted the discarded items into new and usable products. This not only reduced the cost but also saved the environment.
4.¿Haz leído las participaciones de otros en el reto? ¿Cuáles, cuentame un aspecto que te gustó?
I read a post by a participant in this challenge. I really liked his work. Because he showed the work step by step very nicely and his design was also very attractive. I especially noticed that he did the work very carefully and gave importance to environmental awareness. Which inspired me a lot.
5.Animar a otros a conoce e integrarse al upcycling y las 3R merecen promoción ¿En cuál plataforma hiciste la promoción? Comparte una foto y el enlace?
To reach more people, I shared this challenge on my Twitter (X) profile. I think it is very important to inform people about Upcycling and 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Because with this we can protect the environment and reduce waste. By sharing on Twitter, my friends and followers have come to know about this challenge and can also participate if they are interested.

Una manera fácil y práctica de realizar un agarradero de ollas. Te quedó muy bien, con ese diseño que hiciste en forma de flor.
Aquí una manera especial de darle vida a las prendas, cuando ya no son útiles en su primera creación.
Que lindo, la tela de jean es ideal por ser más gruesa y fuerte. Me gusta el detalle del bordado lo hace destacar más y ser una pieza exclusiva. Un gusto pasar por acá, hasta pronto.

You have created it very beautifully and shared the entire process with us. Actually, we can recycle but create something new. And I like it a lot. Best wishes to you.
Wow muy lindo el diseño que le hizo al agarradero de la olla, espectacular. Tambien hice algunos, suerte
Es un gusto ver te has mantenido participando en el reto de las 3R. Posiblemente el reusar y reciclar materiales de forma creativa sea algo que practicas como un hábito, o quizás comience a serlo a partir de estas experiencias.
Me parece importante lo que mencionas de que al compartir tu experiencia quizás otros amigos se animen a hacerlo, eso es intentar ser un buen modelo a seguir para otros en materia del cuidado ambiental.
Ahora tus manos están mejor protegidas en la cocina gracias a esta nueva y útil herramienta.
Bendiciones y éxitos
