Make an Awesome Water-Resistant Picnic Blanket From Old Jeans

Since denim is such a sturdy fabric I knew it would be perfect for a picnic blanket that could stand up to some use by the kids. And it has. We’ve had this blanket for 3 years and we take it everywhere. Now I’m making another one so I can keep one in the car at all times.

To really make this the best picnic blanket ever, I used a shower curtain liner as the back of the quilt. Now we don’t have to worry about our blanket getting wet from damp grass.

To make this totally awesome picnic blanket you are going to need some old jeans. My picnic blanket is 5 1/2 feet by 5 1/2 feet and it’s worked well for us. You will need about 8-12 pair of adult sized jeans to make this (depending on size and style).
