I sold my neighbor a rug of old jeans, immediately received a new order.

Do not know where to adapt the jeans, and throw a quality thing does not raise the hand? How about making a simple and practical jeans mat to decorate the interior, as Natalia Gracheva did?



Editorial "Site" I have already prepared detailed instructions for creating such a charm. By the way, a video with a visual example of creating this mat from the author of the idea is also waiting for you at the end of the article. So you're welcome to watch!

A jeans mat.
  1. First of all, we take out the widest unnecessary jeans we can find from the closet and cut off the pants from them. Then we cut the pants in two and remove the stitches. Now we put these parts of the tissue down for a while. We find small pieces of denim fabric and draw circles of the same size on them. This can be done in different ways - under your own template or using a compass. But the easiest and fastest is with a stencil ruler, which can be purchased for a couple of rubles in any stationery store.

    If there are no flaps, just use the rest of the jeans.





  2. Next, the mugs need to be cut. And so that the cutting process does not drag on for the whole day and does not get bored, you can attach children to this simple occupation and have fun together.



  3. Once the circles are ready, we proceed to prepare the basis. We put the pants together in one wide rectangle. And then with the help of scissors, we give its edges a rounded shape.



  4. Next, attach the circles to the base, superimposing them one on another at a distance of up to 1 cm. We start at the edge of the mat and move in a circle.



  5. Repeat the previous step, laying out the second, third and fourth rows.



  6. If there are enough circles, you can completely make the mat skate. And if not, then as in our example, take a segment of jeans without scuffs and sew in the center. However, you can use any other piece of fabric, if there is no suitable denim segment. At the end, it remains only to make the final edging with circles inside, so that everything looks neat.







Here's the video from Natalia. If you look at the channel of the master, you can find many more variations of denim mats. Be sure to look and choose the one that you like the most.
