I want to attach old jeans to a tarp. Sounds weird, I know. One of our ponds is lined with a tarp, and we want to cover the edges with cut-up jeans. Then we'll treat the jeans with a mixture of milk and moss; the jeans will get all mossy and look natural, not at all like jeans. Or at least that's what we've been told. It's all pretty experimental.
Most places, the jeans can be secured with landscape staples. But in a few spots, the tarp is against a rock face and staples won't work. We can secure both ends of the tarp so it stays in place, but the jean pieces are too short to span the rock face, so we want to attach the jeans to the tarp.
These are the solutions I've thought of so far--any experience with them that might save me time and heartache? Any other suggestions? I don't like to sound cheap, but if I wanted to spend a lot, I'd get a real liner.
- one of those explosive nail guns that fire into concrete--it would work on lava, right? It's not as dense as, say, granite.(expensive even if rented)
- rivets to hold together the tarp and jeans--I have a rivet gun already, but making a bajillion holes in everything seems tedious, and rivets and washers are pricey. And it seems like overkill.
- clothing tag barbs--those plastic thread-like things that hold tags to clothing. For $10 I could get gun, barbs, everything I need. Can you tell I'm leaning toward this one?
