Upcycled Jeans Fabric Basket

"Learn how to make an upcycled jeans fabric basket using the hems cut off of jeans. These small diy fabric baskets are perfect for organizing drawers! My kids always create holes in the knees of their pants during the winter. At first I mend the holes in their jeans, but once it warms up enough I cut the pants and cuff them into shorts. I’ve kept all of the bottom parts of the jeans to use for upcycling. You can reuse the hem to make a great diy fabric basket. These little baskets are great for organizing small things and they are small enough to fit in drawers."
