Tutorial: No-sew patchwork bowl from denim scraps

Henry Happened shows what to do with scraps of denim left over from your various jeans recycling and refashioning projects. You can turn them into a little patchwork bowl! There’s no sewing required, just scraps of fabric, Mod Podge, and a plastic bowl to use as a form. Use your little bowl to hold keys and change and other pocket debris by the back door, or as a catch all on your desk. Go to Henry Happened to see how to do it.
