How to Weave a Round Rug - Easy No Build Loom!

[@lindacyprus1255]

These round rugs were originally woven using the old metal wagon wheel circle. It was wrapped with padding and fabric strips that you could pin your warp strips to

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

No kidding!! I didn't know that! Super cool!

[@harley475]

You have the VERY BEST SOUND on your video. Thank You ! You speak absolutely perfectly.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wow, thank you!

[@lindacyprus1255]

If you pull weft tight you can make really cool rag baskets

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I can totally see that! My prototype was close to basket status!

[@natalieholland3208]

I do not know why a weaving video came thru, but I am truly happy it did. I am crafty in so many ways. I sew quilts and dresses so of course I immediately have on hand supplies ready to make this. Will be doing this as soon as I get over this cold I have. Thank you

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! So glad it came through - I love sewing as well!!

[@lucilledaub5991]

I love the weaved rug. I love the colors of it.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you!!!

[@lanamcknight5254]

This is really nice. Might have to try it. I would crochet a circle in the middle and then also crochet around the outer edge.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Great idea! Let me know how your project goes!!

[@cindyp2181]

I was thinking the same thing... i'm thinking maybe make the joined strips like she has shown us and just crochet the whole darn thing! lol! I think they make a huge crochet hook I've seen at Michaels that could be used. It would be no-sew too. This is very beautiful though!

[@kimjohnson5742]

Thank you for sharing. Especially when the to tight of weaving and the bowl looking. These are beautiful.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

You are so welcome!

[@audriscarborough9309]

Thank you !!! You do such a fantastic job with showing the steps of your weaving projects!!! I just found your channel because I couldn't sleep! I have always wanted to weave and this is a process and project I can do. I always thought it would involve a very fancy and very ,very expensive loom, that I could maybe rent for a few weeks, at 1,000+$ per week, or something like that, along with all types of high cost yards c and fabrics & other items for creating a rug, etcetera. I am thrilled and so excited to start! I just hope whoever ( your husband?) that maked your handmade loom, the one you used to make the one with greens, white, yellow,some with blue, the square "rag rug" for your powder room. I hope my husband is going to be happy to spend his Sunday afternoon watching how to build it, then making me one! I have so many fabric scraps and I don't know if I can wait until morning to start ripping the strips!!!!🥳 I hope you continue making these videos. You have a gift for teaching your craft, as well as your great talent at it. Be well and happy, Audri

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

WOW - you truly just made my day with your sweet words! Thank you. I hope you get a loom built soon, it is such a fun craft! Thanks again!

I have a huge iron rim off of an antique farm wagon wheel for a loom. I'm eager to try weaving doing this by your method! This is entirely different than any instructions I've ever seen. This actually looks much more do able!! Thank you. Blessings!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That sounds super cool!! Curious - how large is the rim? Let me know how it goes!!

[@merryanneadair4451]

@@DIYOnTheHouse the rim is 48" in diameter-BIG! In order to do it like you did, I'll need to make the base enough larger to be able to tie it to the rim. It's going to be interesting. Your weaving technique is 'twining' where all my patterns are 'simple' one strand weaving. So I'm eager to do this!! Bet this will use up a LOT of fabric scraps!! ☺ Thank you, I've subscribed to your channel & am totally excited about your videos.

[@marymcandrew7667]

Your finished rug and the prototype are both gorgeous colors! I think on the one you finished, I would sew the edge like you did but then add a bias binding to make it look neat and tidy. It's such a nice rug I think it deserves it. Thanks, I hope I can try this sometime.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thanks for the tip -- great suggestion!!

[@Nilempress]

Do you take the backing off for washing ?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

No, I leave it on. Wash on delicate and line dry.

[@TJHutchExotics]

Thanks for the great video! Could you use a hula hoop to weave a round rug?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I thought about that - but was stuck on how you would remove it from the hoop. I guess you could cut the loop. Also didn't know how much they flex. If you try it, let me know.

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I was wondering about using a hula hoop as well but, wondered if it would be too flexible. Some hula hoops have a small length of plastic as a joiner, (l have one l threaded a shower curtain on to use as a camping privacy screen). It may be possible to pull one apart, cut a segment out of one end, rejoin it and make a sort of diy embroidery hoop. That would make it more rigid but I'm not sure if it would be rigid enough.

I made a template on cardboard with several circles of different measurements. This I use with every round rug or wall hanging, if I want to have a perfect center. Zjen I warp with thread. And in the end I add the backing.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Oh, I like that!!! What did you weave with? Fabric? Then you hand sewn the backing on? Sounds exciting!

What if you pulled the black fabric in the hoop taught as a drum? Then you'll have a flatter warp and avoid the bowl effect.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I had a tough time keeping it tight - I thought the same thing, but the fabric would loosen as I worked with it.

[@cr3237]

Lovely rug. I would finish the edge with a binding made from matching fabric and then try to find a way of filling in the centre. Maybe some more of the fabric used to weave the rug rather than seeing the backing. Just me and my OCD!

[@juliem.679]

I would suggest using a sunburst pattern for "embroidering" the center with a wool needle pulling more scrap lengths through to cover the hole in the center, the same needle and scrap fabric could be used to bind the outer edge, as well. Pony makes good plastic needles for this with huge flexible eyes.

Have you ever taken the step to sew the raw edges of the strips under to make the rug have no raw edges? How do you think that may impact the rug?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I didn't try that - it should work, it would probably make it a one-sided rug is all. I may have to try it and see how it works.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

[@chrishicks5359]

Do you prewash the material before cutting strips?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Not on most of it. Most of it was an old sheet that had been washed plenty.

[@longyarn4288]

It also depends on the fabric. If you're using old sheets that have been washed in hot water it's probably not necessary, but curtains and clothing probably ought to be washed in hot water to ensure no further shrinkage will take place when washing the rug.

[@linneasimonalle5604]

Have you thought about tacking a 'Yo-Yo' fabric circle in the middle? And is there a way the outside edge can be used to completely finish the rug? Since there is so much fabric at the edge, you might be able to loosely 'French Braid' or twine the finished edge to match the style of the rest of the rug weaving.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

WOW - those are GREAT suggestions! Love it, I will need to try those on my next project. Thanks for sharing!

[@maricelbation5790]

Please if allowed can I ask what are the materials of making rugs like what the name of the ruller you use the cloth cutter you use and everything thank you

On the prototype: lay it in the bathtub and soak it with water. Take it out and lay flat on a couple of towels to absorb with water that will catch the drip. Then after a few hours move it to a warm place -- possibly outside in the sun. once it is fairly dry which may take a day or two place a large piece of plastic/garbage bag on top and then----place some weights on it such as books. This may do the trick.

That looks great but what happens when you wash it? I'm currently persuading, or maybe bullying😸, my husband to make me a rug loom with the metal rods at the sides based on yours but the width will be adjustable (to make it narrower if required) and have rollers sticking out of each end to make longer rugs. I'll let you know how it goes. I've asked various friends if they have unwanted clothes, sheets, curtains etc and everyone seems to have taken stuff to the Red Cross bins last week😿. Maybe I'll cut up my husband's trousers if he doesn't make my loom soon!!!!!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Cutting up his trousers might some good leverage in getting a loom made!! 😅 I haven't washed the round rug yet. Here is a video on me washing the other rugs, they turned out great! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSnpHiJYqaJo9E

Be sure to pre-wash all fabric before cutting it up. A great place to find materials is a local thrift store. Check to see if they have any specials or half off days, or damaged-beyond-repair bins. Can't hurt to ask!

Just an idea.... Could you weave it with a pencil on top of each slit to make sure it’s loose when you’re done? Just pull the pencil outwards as the weaving radiates out and it’ll leave that little bit of a gap between the base fabric and the weaving. I just know that I won’t be able to weave anything loose- my brain will cry if I try! Lol Ps I just noticed that we have the same Singer Heavy Duty sewing machines! 🤗
