How To Weave Rug Using Old Jeans 👖

Stunning weaving denim rug from old jeans ♻️
For this denim carpet i used: husband's jeans, my jeans, 4 pairs of kids jeans, two denim dresses, shorts.
I made 175 metres of ironed denim tapes. In the end my carpet size: length 147cm, width 74cm.

making a loom out of that clothing rack is GENIUS

Next time you make one of these rugs (which I must say, are VERY beautiful!!), and you're struggling to find enough denim, go to your local charity shops, and ask them to save all the pairs of jeans that are not good enough for sale which would only end up in the rag bags. If you offer to pay more than the rag man, they'll happily save them for you. I ended up with about 50 pairs of jeans when I was looking for denim for a project by doing this, and it only cost me about £5 for the lot!!

Thank you for honestly representing how much, time, effort, planning, and fabric you put into this project. So many tutorials (particularly on weaving/rugs) gloss over those aspects. The precision, measuring, cutting, making the tape, ironing are the key to this professional result. There's nothing wrong with "rustic" rag rugs, made with rough cut/torn fabric strips the irregularities are part of their beauty. Seeing your project reinforces that it is important to have realistic expectations. Perfection requires extra effort and planning.

Pure genius to use that clothing rack as a loom. Your rug is beautiful.

Welcome to my sewing room. Everything gets covered in denim “dust”. I make quilts with scraps. I understand how much time goes into deconstructing the jeans. It’s a labor of love. You have inspired me to try my hand at a rug. Wish me luck.

Thank you for making this video available in English! This [work of art] is very original. May you and your sewing ministry be blessed.

I could listen you to you talk all day. Your voice is beautiful, calm, and relaxing.

Thank you for your tutorial! I'm in the process of making my own rug now, following your directions. I bought four pairs of jeans (largest sizes I could find, just in case) at the thrift store for $10 (USD), used a seam ripper to take them apart, ironed all of the pieces, and am now in the process of cutting the strips. I bought some cotton rug warp (yarn) online, practiced tying a knot to keep it taut, and selected a rack in my apartment to use when I get to the weaving step. Thank you for your great video! I'm excited to see how my rug turns out, though it might be a while before it's finished. There are a lot of steps!

Now I know for what I collected all our old jeans for the last years 😂 Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and sharing your experiences.

[waalstudio_art]

One of the best tutorials I’ve watched! Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Это неплохая утилизация старых джинс, спасибо за подсказку и за подробное видео ❤😊

Your rug has the most appealing color gradation of all the inspiration photos you shared. I love how it is darker on the outsides and lighter with asymmetrical but balanced striping throughout the center. My top insipration!

[gailkellum]

Your rug turned out beautifully! And, I know you must have a lot of patience as this involved so much prep time as well as engineering your own loom. Enjoyed your video!

[susanhardesty]

Absolutely beautiful! Another project where I turn to my friend and say, “Janice, we can do this.” I have never woven anything in my life.

[celegleeson]

Just stunning. It will last you for the rest of yr life. Thank you for shattering yr work.

Очень здорово👏✊👍 Во всех этих переработках старых вещей мне нравится, что это не ушло на свалку и не загрязнило природу. Коврик очень хороший

[LaundryFaerie]

This was simply stunning. And even though I know it represents a lot of time and work, it makes me want to weave my own jeans rug. Thank you!

Figuring out a shuttle and how to create a “shed” would be so helpful.

For the shuttle you could sand down a paint stick and use a dremel to drill out an eye equal to the width of the strips with just a bit of give.

For the shed you could use a wide yard-stick. Weave it between the waft vertically and twist it horizontally to get a channel the push which the shuttle can slide.

Great work! I’d love to do this, maybe making 2 and sewing them as a living-room area rug.
