Sewing tutorial: Upcycled denim doorstop

Create a door stop from denim upcycled from old jeans!  Vicky Myers Creations has a tutorial showing how.  She mixed denim scraps from several pairs of jeans which creates a cool effect with the different washes.  A leather strap on the top makes it easy to carry.
