Rag Rug Get Rid Of All Those Scraps!!!

LOL I totally braid with my teeth xD love this tut A LOT !!!

Do you think this will work with corduroy? Well, i guess we'll find out..

You are HILARIOUS! This tutorial definitely wins the prize for being the most entertaining! :oD Once I have my giggling under control, I'm most certainly going to try this project. I was wondering what I could do with all the sad, lonely, leftover pieces of fabric I couldn't bear to throw away. lol Thanks very much for also showing how to attach new strips when you reach the end of the current strips.

I need to make this! I've been tempted to do something like this for a long time, but never thought it'd look very good until I saw your photos! ^_^

Thank you so much! You know what .. toothbrush rugs are quite fast as well..

this is great - have been meaning to make one for the last 30 years so this could be my Christmas holiday project... optimistically assuming that I'll have the time!! Tee hee!!! Only discovered this site yesterday and can't seem to concentrate on anything else!! thx for sharing, Tina

i luv ur dog!! i am going to make this for my mom!!

Amazing Idea and I love your dog ;)

LOL... great job and great tut. I see myself with this teeth braiding bit AND the toe hold... Hey, Multi tasking with body parts takes talent!...LOL ;-)~

I think I saw something similar somewhere on youtube.
Ah, here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGr-LiPboEY
It's not braiding but knotting and you take the ends through the part of the rug you already have. So you don't have to sew it all together in the end.

Since I saw it I wanted to make it, however I still haven't gotten to it yet. And most of my scraps are weird shaped or ravel too much.

I love your version though. I like the rainbow colors.

i had a good laugh at step 10, good how to

I love this tutorial I have to try it, cause the middle of the floor in my room looks sooo empty

I'm already working on one of these for my dorm room right now- such awesomeness. It's cool to see that other people are as crazy as me to try to tackle such a time consuming project.

I also use my toes to hold things like this! lol

Nice to know we are not alone.

Also I am working on my first rag rug.
I am very excited about it, thanks for the tips!

Wow I love this tutorial to pieces. And I'm glad to see there is another human being in the world who holds things with her feet. Glad I'm not a freak. Hahaha. I am making a rug like this right now, I like yours much better though.

awesome! i'm gonna go make one now! great school holidays activity.

and nice dog btw.. is it a staffy??

very good i like this

Thanks guys!!! My mom used to have old rag rugs too. I loved them. Now I can make my own.

LOVE IT !

This is an amazing tutorial.. I remember my grandmother buying a rug from someone years ago, and the lady said that she had made it from sheets... now I see how she did it!

you're awesome, thanks so much for the tute!

Very entertaining tutorial! I have all sorts of scraps lying around and this is going on my project to-do list. Thanks for sharing it!

Your directions are great! I am happy to see I'm not the only crazy person who ties stuff to their toes to hold it - that's what I used to do when I did macrame years ago!
