I have about 50 pockets from jeans, any craft ideas?
I have been making denim blankets from old jeans and have tons of pockets of various sizes left over. I hate to waste fabric, but I am at a loss of how to use them

well my math teacher in third grade had all of these butt pockets glued to a big piece of fabric and then had it hanging on the wall with another piece of fabric. this was where we put all the calculators. so maybe you could get some big strong pieces of fabric, glue all of your left-over pockets to it, and then u could store dfrnt things in each pocket.

the pockets could be sewn to a backing fabric and be used to keep small items in. like sock sorting or something like that, leaving them open on top as pockets, you could put them on a quilt square or pillow square and sew something hanging out of each one, like a garden glove, a bandana corner, some fake keys, and so on, to make a really cute quilt, you can sew two pockets together with a strap on them for a little purse. gee the ideas are endless.

Sew them onto a firm piece of fabric - coat hanger width. This would make a neat jewelry storage hanger.
I purchased one a couple of years ago. It hangs in the closet and it has 20 pockets of either side. All my jewelry is stored in there. Works out great.

cover some 3 ring binder notebooks.. use the pockets on the front and if you keep the belt loops off of old jeans use that on the side of the binder to hold rulers...
make some small handbags.. pocket keychains. turn some of them into gift tags.

you're able to make some aprons type the the front and back. in simple terms trim them in extensive lace. you are able to paint stuff on them. Like on the back area of the pants say, back backyard BBQ. Quilts. decrease backside legs off and use the the main suitable option pants section for a handbag. you are able to handles for handbags at Wal-Mart. The legs of the pants would properly be used to make around roll pillows.
