BASKET MAKING WITH DENIM
Upcycle fabrics into beautiful DIY baskets!
Most crafters will have a fabric stash they can dive into with loads of denim - most fabrics are useable - but personally I love denim for it's hardiness and those lovely tones of blue. Even if you're not a crafter, you'll likely have some denim jeans you've wanted to get rid of that you can use. Simply cut it into strips.

A large needle - with a big eye
