4. Jean Bag Chair
Estimated Cost: $40* for new; $80* for do-it-yourself
A basic bean bag has been a mainstay of every respectable game room or den for decades, but instead of spending forty dollars on an ordinary online bean bag, why not construct your own out of old jeans? That is a question that we have all asked ourselves at least once.

Assume that the price of the filling is added to the $20 cost of each pair of jeans. By the time you finish sewing this eight-legged marvel, you might have spent more than $80. But will the odd stares you’ll get from the rest of the family truly be worth it?
Sure, some might answer that, but others might not. In any case, you have to acknowledge that it’s a unique and intriguing piece of furniture that nobody else will own. This is not a Kallax unit from Ikea. If nothing else, it’s a conversation starter, despite its rather unsettling nature.
