Have a look at this jean bowl and get some materials to make it: an old pair of jeans, Mod Podge and a foam brush, a bowl to use as a shape. Rip strips of denim about 4 to 5 inches long and a couple of inches wide. Once you have a few strips cut, generously brush on Mod Podge and start layering them around the bowl shape. Turn some pieces inside out to get a color variance and add some strips vertically and some horizontally for the patchwork effect. Keep adding strips until the bowl is well covered. Once the Mod Podge is dry, remove the bowl from the base and it’s ready to use(source).
