Recycled cigarette butts



Smoking is injurious to health. But it does help make beautiful rugs too! Here’s a rug made out of cigarette butts. Created by Puerto Rican artist, Jesus Bubu Negron, this rug is a masterpiece of recycling. The artist got a handful of street cleaners to pick up and collect cigarette butts shamelessly tossed on streets and with the help of a few helpers, created this piece of art.

  3. I like this idea, of rugs made up of cigarette butts. I agree it is cool, even though it seems like you can only get brown and white as a color scheme.
