My husband goes through jeans like nobody’s business. Sometimes I patch them. Sometimes I cut them up and make patches. And I have an ungodly amount waiting in the wings to be made into a dungaree quilt (eventually he’ll nag me enough that I’ll get around to it).
But then I saw video tutorials on how make corded baskets, and well…
I kind of became obsessed.
I still have half a leg left to make another small one.
What a cool idea! Bet they are super sturdy, too.
wow!
what a cool idea – so useful!
great way to upcycle~
(also, welcome to the forums 
Great idea!
Great way to reuse! Well done.
Love this! I have been thinking lately about how to recycle clothing and for some reason never thought of baskets like these. Thanks for sharing!
Ooo I also have a pile of denim to upcycle - never thought to use it for cord baskets! Thanks for the idea!
Welcome!
And yes, great baskets! It is nice to recycle and upcycle. Good work!
(I have a lot of old jeans too and made a pillow and a seat cover and potholders with those scraps)
Very cool! And yay for recycling 
I’m really loving these with the denim! Great baskets. Now I need to find where I stashed my kids’ old jeans.
Welcome aboard!
Love those!
Great job recycling - These are wonderful!
I really like the look of these!
Reusing old jeans is wonderful 
and I completely understand that you’ve become obsessed
