thrifty snowstorm crafts

I started making a braided rug during the snowstorm as a way to get a little more life from a few pairs of ripped jeans (and a pair of khakis)

Here's how it's coming so far:

I've got more denim to braid in, and I expect it will get to be something like 2' x 4' before I run out of the fabric I have here... although that won't happen this weekend.
