Add granny squares randomly. Maybe around the bottom to flare them. (oops, sewing, not crochet)

If you are open to adding crochet to them, I have this pattern :blush:

You could also turn them into super bell bottoms by adding panels to the leg with fabric or crochet :blush:

It depends on what you mean by do something with them.

If you want to keep wearing them but just change the look of them you could:

  • make a bunch of crochet doilies, patches, appliques etc and sew them to the jeans.
  • if you sew you could do some sashiko style stitching on them.
  • cut the hems shorter and crochet around the bottom

If you don’t want to wear them anymore and want to upcycle them you could:

  • cut squares out of the jeans, crochet around the edges, sew/crochet them together to make a blanket/throw, a scarf, skirt, etc

Check out other ideas on Pinterest. The ideas are endless.
