Upcycled Jean Hems Rug | Progress Made | It's Getting Bigger


An upcycled denim rug without sewing!

I posted this work in progress pic back in 

Yes, yet another neglected project. Finally added to it though and used up all the hems I had saved up for it.

A ton of glue sticks later and it measures 25.5" in diameter now.

Well, initially I did try to sew it together, by hand, with a tapestry needle...it sucked. It hurt my fingers. There was no way I could keep it up so I switched to hot glue gun and that was the way to go. It has held up pretty well this far so I think it'll be fine. There are other techniques for upcycled denim area rugs. The braided kind looks particularly impressive. If I make another rug someday I'll definitely try that one.
