Funny rug with your own hands

Since ancient times, Rusichi decorated their homes with bright things made of cloth. Funny curtains, blankets and a rug, made with their own hands made of multi-colored scraps, added a room of bright colors and served as a kind of amulet from evil spirits. The house, decorated with patchwork, becomes cozy and country-like picturesque.

To make a rug from the flaps, you can use various textile residues or unnecessary things. The more colors you take, the brighter and more colorful will be the finished product. You can make a rug with your own hands from shreds in several ways. Let's consider some of them.

Bright mat with your hands in the technique of oriental carpets

This product will require a plastic mesh with 3-5 mm cells and shreds of various colors. To make one rug, you should choose only one kind of fabric, so that the finished surface looks like a single whole. From the flaps we cut strips in the size 2х6 (10) centimeters. The smaller the length of the strip, the lower the carpet layer. Cutting a large number of patchwork strips, we proceed to manufacture.

Putting the grid on a flat surface of the table, we take one strip and, starting from one corner or middle, we rub the rug with our own hands. We pass one end of the shred through the grid and take it back to the next cell. We get both ends of the strip on the front side of the rug, which are held by means of plastic grid division. To fasten our flap, we tie a knot. In this way, we attach all the strips to the grid, placing them as close as possible to each other, until we fill the entire area of the grid.

It remains only to cut the finished mat with your own hands, leveling the surface. Beautiful products are obtained from soft children's fabrics (fleece, wellsoft) and knitwear. Using cotton gauzes, you can make an excellent bedding in the bathroom or the nursery.

Carpet in the scrappy technique

The easiest way to make a rug from a rag. The remains of the fabric are cut into identical squares or rectangles. Sew the workpieces first into ribbons, and then join them into the whole canvas. Carefully iron all the seams so that our product does not wrinkle or warp. We cut out a dense lining of suitable size. You can add a layer of sintepon. In this case, the rug will get a little thicker and warmer.

We lay out the lining on the table. We put a sintepon on it and cover it with a patchwork top. Align the edges, chopping all three layers with needles, preventing the movement of parts. We lay a connecting line along the perimeter of the rug and a few decorative stitches in random order throughout its area. Only after that we remove the needles. We cut the edges of the product and bend it around the perimeter with the help of a satin ribbon or an oblique bake. It remains only to choose a suitable place for our rug, so that he would rejoice the eye.

Crochet Rug

Such a rug making is perfect for lovers of knitting. First we make a thread for knitting. We cut all the rest of the fabric into strips 2 cm wide and connect them with a thread or a simple knot. The resulting long thread is wound up in a tangle and we begin to make a carpet. The middle of the product is made more dense, tying it in columns without a crochet. The edges can be made more airy. For this we knit the columns with the crochet. Using several colors, you can make a beautiful mat in just one evening.

Old T-shirts, tights and socks will go to work. Interesting and durable mats are obtained from old kapron tights and stockings. Most of the things that no one will wear for a variety of reasons, and throw it very pitiful, you can turn into the necessary and beautiful products for the home interior. Then they will serve you and please their appearance.
