The rug looks amazing, though I'm not sure I have the skill or patience to make my own :-( What I love about it is how you solve multiple problems with one project. 1. You are diverting waste from landfills by repurposing old fabric 2. You are preventing the need for yet another new, toxic, synthetic rug 3. You are filling a need for a product without using ANY new materials Genius! Maybe I will send you all my worn out organic fabrics and we can take over the world... WOw I’m impressed!

Genius!

It was great fun to begin. I couldn't get the turn though. It would be GREAT if you started with 4 colors and then took pictures of EACH single strand as it makes the turn. For us slow pokes, if you get the chance! And then I hope I can find this site again! Oh gosh, I always wanted to make a rag rug. It was great fun to begin. I couldn’t get the turn though.

They work great for patio's, mud rooms, and entrance from garage. She has told me how easy they are to make now that I have pitures to follow can't wait to try myself. I'm off to the store for supplies! My 84 year old Aunt makes these rugs out of dollar store platic table clothes. They work great for patio’s, mud rooms, and entrance from garage.

The thing that really annoyed me about trying to make a traditional braided rug (got as far as doormat size and gave up.....) was the sewing together of the braids, love the fact that this avoids that altogether. Don't know whether i'll get to a project like this as I'm so busy coming up with projects for my blog www.creativejewishmom.com Do drop by for a visit! Wow, this is great!

Otherwise, just slip another in there when it starts to pick up. You can keep going without adding as long as your rug lays flat. Otherwise, just slip another in there when it starts to pick up.
