Using a large crochet hook to pull through is really a finger saver while working on these rugs

If anyone dared step on my rug after me spending 17 years making it, they would be under the patio.

Hi, thank you for such an easy video to follow. I’d like to know approximately the width of your strips plus about how much material it used for this size. I don’t have a ballpark idea is all. Thanks in advance!
@beverlymartin76883 ай бұрын
@kathyq2654 Thank you! Watch my video "Answering your Questions". That is where i explain width of strips. It depends on thickness of fabric & also desired thickness of your rug. As far as amount, it can vary but this size took maybe 8- 10 large size t-shirts.
@BrowserBabe3 ай бұрын
How thick are the strands? Are they all different widths? It looks like the strands are pretty wide, 2-3 inches...? TIA❤

Thanks for this. i have a large stack of my kids t-shirts that I've been looking for a good way to utilize them into a rug. This looks like it would work well for those. Any way to estimate how many yards of fabric you used for that 2 x 4 rug?

Can I ask you about how long it took you to make these ones, as well as approximately how many bags itt took? I’m excited to try making a few of my own, just not looking forward to collecting all the bags, I am only interested in used plastic bags. Other than the few I get here and there living alone I really don’t need to shop as much as I did before my babies have grown up and moved out. Guess I’ll have to post on all my social media sites for family and friends to save their bags for me, I’m wondering if it would be possible to make them thicker as in adding layers to make I guess something similar to mattresses for the homeless. I guess I could always make 3-5 of the same size and weave em together on top of eachother. I know not the most comfortable in hot weather but air mattresses that are used daily quickly begin leaking within ask or 2. I think this would be a little time consuming but well worth it in the end, it’ll be a win, win recycling the plastic and helping provide a little comfort for the homeless living in tents.

I have done repairs to several braided rugs that my grandmother had made 50 or more years ago. Hers are made of wool or something similar and her method was to fold the fabric strips (three strips) during the braiding, and “sew” the braids together with twine. I now have about twenty years worth of old blue jeans that I am thinking of making into a rug. Any advice on that method
