Upcycled Denim Fabric Baskets

"I love an organized home, and I’ve learned the best way to keep one is to limit bringing too many new items into it. Some minimalists even live by the mantra “an old item out for every new item in.” I’m not that extreme, but I often try to use things I have on hand whenever I can, especially when it comes to crafting. That’s why I love these upcycled denim fabric baskets made from old jeans."

More Crafty Ideas For You

We absolutely love the idea of upcycling denim fabric into functional and stylish baskets! If you're a fan of this craft project, we have a few more ideas that we think you'll enjoy.

For those who enjoy working with fabric, we recommend trying your hand at creating upcycled denim coasters. Cut small squares of denim and sew them together with a complimentary fabric backing for a set of unique and durable coasters for your home or to give as a gift.

If you're looking to expand your upcycling skills, consider making a denim fabric rug. Cut strips of denim, braid them together, and sew them into a circular or oval shape for a one-of-a-kind rug that adds a touch of rustic charm to any room.

And for those who like to get creative with their upcycling projects, why not try making denim fabric planters? Use old jeans or denim scraps to create a unique vessel for your houseplants. Simply line the fabric with plastic, fill with soil, and plant your favorite greenery for a fun and eco-friendly addition to your home decor.

No matter which project you choose, upcycling denim fabric is a great way to reuse materials, get creative with your crafting, and add a touch of personal style to your home. Happy crafting!
