Tutorial: Wood crate ottoman with recycled jeans cushion

Claire from Pillar Box Blue shows how she created this awesome wood crate ottoman. The cushion on top is made from recycled jeans. The denim makes a sturdy fabric for the cushion, and the waistband is the perfect way to finish off the sides. The crate ottoman is on casters so it’s easy to move it around as needed.
