Carpets with their own hands from labels from jeans
Employees of the Scandinavian design company King ofSweden collected and continue to collect old jeans, in which they are interested only in the brand label with the trademark - the label. From hundreds and thousands of leather and textile labels, the guys sew rugs with their own hands from jeans labels. The concept of using items of clothing after they wear out for other purposes is far from new. For decades, women have been making patchwork rugs and blankets from old things. In the same way, you can make a rug with your own hands from jeans labels. The only problem is to find enough labels, because even for a small rug you will need at least 50 of them.
To make such carpets with your own hands, labelsIt is better to sew it on some fabric, even thin. Labels sewn on top of each other will give the carpet the necessary density. Use a sewing machine for this work, as manually sewing each label is a very labor-intensive task. Make lines along the perimeter of the label, where it was sewn to the jeans. You can choose the pattern yourself - a regular even grid, a herringbone, a spiral for a round carpet, but the labels in a slightly irregular order, sewn on top of each other, look the most impressive.

If you look closely at the labels, you can see Ralph Lauren, Levis, American Eagle, Wrangler and many other recognizable names.
