An old pair of jeans will turn this inexpensive basket into something totally special!
You will need:
metal waste basket (with large holes)
old pair of jeans
scissors or rotary cutter
ruler
fabric glue (I used Fabri-Tac)

- Cut multiple ½-inch-thick strips of denim from old jeans, long enough to fit around largest diameter of basket.
- Wrap top and bottom edges of basket with denim strips until covered.
- Weave individual strips of denim around basket horizontally, moving up a row at a time until completely covered. To create a 2-toned effect, turn denim strip over to reveal lighter (or darker) side of fabric.
- At the end of each row, secure denim to itself with fabric glue.
- Trim strips as needed.
