I love to apply this 3Rs in my life (Reuse, repair, recycle) but when it comes to relationships, I only use 1R and that is Repair.

Kidding aside, jeans when worn out pretty bad, it can definitely be used to build new things such as what you mentioned on this post. Meanwhile, I turn it into a bag, running mat, mat for my plants, stylish rug, designed it as a new tshirt, and a lot more.
