I have been wanting the share this project for a while but hadn't gotten around to doing so. A couple of months back Megan and I had a basket making day.
We used plastic strapping that comes around my boxes every time I get a flower order and jean seams - the leftover from my cutting up of jeans when I am making rugs (like the one Megan is sitting on0>
That was a pretty fun project of using things that we had on hand. We have currently been working on another big project that I hope to share the results of soon. Our homeschool co-op is putting on a science circus and we have been busy making costumes and props.
How have you been using what you have in your hand?

I am really impressed with the basket, what a great use for things that would otherwise be thrown away ! You are so creative !
Beautiful! I am inspired to try to make a basket now!
How creative! I love that use for the plastic straps. I never would have thought of that. I'm sure it will be durable and long lasting too with the denim.
Thank you both! I hope you try basket making. It is really not that hard and quite a lot of fun. The result is very useful too.
I love your recycling ideas. Jeans seams are quite sturdy to use. Now I wish I hadn't thrown away all those plastic strapping pieces from boxes! You've given me some good ideas for other projects. Thank you! God bless you all!
What a clever idea! I never think to make things like this, very resourceful!
Thank you, Carol and Alicia!
Yes the jeans and the plastic strapping create a quite sturdy basket when it is all together. I am hoping to make more like this quite soon.
Thanks for stopping by!
