This is the kind of wonderful information about how to use up scrap fabric that you just can't find with a quick google search. Everyone wants you to make fabric flower pots and headbands but I don't need either. I do need something that is not tile-floor cold to stand on during a winter morning when I am bleary-eyed and brushing my teeth. Also, a great way to use up extra fabric that you either accumulated yourself or were given to you. Even an "ugly print" fabric would be fantastic as the print would largely get absorbed into the business of the rest of the rug.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Glad you are as excited as I am about these rugs!! You are right, it is a super way to use ugly fabric! Have fun!!

[@Henry-n7n8]

I have made 5 rugs using your method, this works, some changes i made, 1. I use very strong butcher cord for the warp, 2. due to all the fuzzies, I have serged the edges of the weft, gives a very good looking professional edge, 3. I attached a weft to the steel rods, as I pull out the rod, the weft adds a little fullness where the rod was, to you & others your welcome to use my ideas

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Oh!! I would love to see some pictures! Those sound incredible! If you would like you can email them to [e-mail].

[@beverlyking3557]

I watched your rug weaving and loom making videos about a dozen time before actually making the loom and rug. I purchased “end” pieces of 1x3 wood, which was super cheap, and I used old cotton curtains which were faded. I feel like this was a totally redemptive project; turning unwanted, and otherwise unusable objects and transforming them into something absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for your clear instructions! Also, I love how you and your husband work together as a team.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

So glad you have a loom!! That sounds like a fantastic project!! We really appreciate your kind words - have fun weaving!!

[@dogsinolga]

Smart start! Non weavers need to know what WARP means. Glad you are doing this. I learned weaving in 1955. My teacher had small 2 harness table looms. My 4th grade teacher had 4 harness table looms and my 6th grade teacher had 3 floor and 1 table loom. We had to warp and weave a pattern to 'graduate' 6th grade. I believe that the weaving is why I understood Base 2 and computers. So, keep teaching weaving, especially to kids. Thanks.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

What a great story!! I learning from those before me!! Enjoy!

What's the warp fabric

[@polarxena]

Wow. Where did you go to school? What an awesome curriculum!

[@kayceegreer4418]

... and still nobody mentions WEFT by name.

[@kayceegreer4418]

@@brittaniecoryell4656 WARP is the vertical /the up and down strands/strips. WEFT is word for the horizontal/side to side strands/strips. In textiles (making fabrics), and in making tapestries that will hang upon a body or wall, the warp fiber/yarn/thread or fabrics are (usually) chosen of stronger stuff than what will be wefted or weaved through them, for they must carry the weight of it. The weave pattern such as twill, bombazine, damask, jacquard, waffle, birdseye, etc will bring texture, visual interest, and beauty, not to mention flexibility or pictures to the work. For Example: The durability of denim relies upon the strength of the thicker denier and tighter twist (adds strength, thus durability, cuz less fraying & linting) of the warp fiber and the flexibility of the lighter weight/denier and looser twist of the weft fiber, and the twill weave pattern of 3×1, or 2×1 combined. Take a looksee www.heddels.com/2014/08/know-twills-3x1-2x1-plain-weave/ Fabric is so much more than you think.

My grandmother taught me to make ragrugs about 70 yrs back. Almost every time I went to visit, she was busy with one or two. (She also made quilts.) And it was all with scrap fabric. Living through the depression, she taught me the recycling principles before it was a thing. She didn't use a loom but braided all her torn strands of fabric. I believe it would still be easier for me personally to make rugs today by braiding. I was observing your hands...mine don't work so well now. I did learn some about weaving when in my 30s. Glad to see some of old home arts are being passed on to younger adults.👍

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I'm glad as well. These rugs are so beautiful when they are finished. And they can tell a great story of where the fabric came from.

[@lesasallmann8434]

Thanks for the rug refresh! My husband built me a loom probably 15+ years ago. I made many rugs, some as gifts and some I kept. The dogs seem to love them the best, and now have worn to almost rags again! Time to make some new ones. Thank you for the clear and patient way of explaining the how-to. I can't wait to get crackin' :)

[@jonpayne4073]

Excellent, clear instructions. In the absence of facilities to bend metal rods, I used wooden dowels with similar dimensions to the rods and added two extra screw eyes each side of the loom to reduce stress on the dowels. Rug is a success and folk are queuing up to use the loom. Happy days.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That is a fantastic idea!! Thanks! I admit - I am weaving addicted!

[@merryanneadair4451]

I love, love, love your rug videos!!! I inherited a love of rag rug making from my grandfather. He was a blacksmith during the Depression & when he retired he built his own rug loom from anything he could find (even car parts!!). It was in a small room added to his blacksmith shop. As a child I was allowed to walk up the alley to his shop & 'help' make rugs! My mom & grandma would take in any scrap fabric they could get & we'd spend hours tearing the strips & then sewing the weft strips. I spent countless hours sitting under mom's sewing machine cutting the little points off the sewn strips & then rolling balls. Grandpa was so prolific that he was always ahead of mom & grandma! When Grandpa passed, my mom got his loom, and never used it. One of my prayers is that some day I can have it AND use it! Thank you for letting me reminisce & for bringing back these wonderful memories!! I crochet & knit rugs, & have several small looms like the one you're using here, but I dream of reserecting Grandpa's loom. I think he'd be proud that his workmanship lives on! Blessings to you! 😌

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Such a SWEET story! Thank you so much for taking time to share. The generations ahead of us are mind blowing talented!! If you have a picture of the loom, I would love to see it, if you wanted to email it to me [e-mail]. Thanks again for sharing!!

Just thought ive loads of aldi strong bags (wash bags or toy bags there called in mine 😂) they would be sturdy and great for outside the front door for wet boots trainers to dry of as it would be bumpy as the bags are thick ennit so enough space for air to get under to help dry them quicker for instance....i cant WAIT to make my loom!😆😀😊

On the last one, I turned it upside down to finish, working up instead of down, towards the top of the frame when I got 3/4 of the way finished. At this point in the weaving, I also changed to going through the loops so I didn't have to do that on the last row. This all went very well.

I have FINALLY learned to weave rugs according to your encouragement and teaching. I am almost finished my first rag rug, and this is going to be a great opportunity to pass on to my great grandchildren (it beats watching phone games all the way!) I do have a couple of questions however - - I am left-handed, and I started on the right like you did, because that was all I know how to do! LOL .... no problem for me, I knit and crochet right-handed, and could never teach my left-handed daughter how to knit or crochet .... we all have our "quirks", right? Anyway, I am pretty pleased with the results, so far, but after having your videos playing in the background as I work along, I put my own twist on it, but actually working upside down .... the thing that saved my bacon was that I had heard about working from both ends ... you are correct rag rug weaving is very forgiving. Now I have a QUESTION! What is the difference between weaving and twining?

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I am so excited for you!!! I would love to see pictures of your projects [e-mail]. Apparently, what we are doing on these rugs is technically twining. I recently started using a heddle loom, I guess that is weaving. No matter what we call it - it is still addictive!

Recently, I watched My Sewing Room (Beth) set up her heddle machine on her dining room table. It looked more involved than I want to get into, so ... however! As I have moved around my sources of supplies (and watching/listening to your videos), I have an overabundance of crochet thread that I am considering for use on my placemat loom at least - - no one can appreciate how much I have, but thrifting has made it a rather easy way to accrue craft supplies.

[@charlottesabori6977]

Love your process...can't wait to start my rug!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Good luck and have fun with you design!

[@Sarahofthewoods]

I've been making so many rugs and they're wonderful! Thank you for your tutorial!! I was even able to make the loom with just some tool-finding assistance from my husband, ha!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! It is such a FUN craft for me - I love making them!

[@amysatterfield5711]

Ok love this . I made a look. But I have a lot of strings from my strips. What do I do with them on my finished piece. Very stringy.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

No problem -- just trim the strings off. Some of the fabric I have used were really stringy too, so I just trimmed them. There was one that was excessively stringy, so I opted to not use it, it was going to be real messy to work with.

[@stephaniejohnson3739]

Ok I’ve got the warping done and I’m getting my fabric ready!! Gonna give it a go! Great video!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Excellent!! Let me know if you have any questions!!

[@ceepark114]

I love the look of those rag rugs but would really love a hands-on class, wish they would teach that at my voc-tech school.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wow - it would make a great class!

[@staalburger9811]

This is a beautiful Toturial Lady. I am going to make this. You make it looks so easy and it definitely is after watching you & following all the steps. No more buying rugs, Others will buy from me. Thank you.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

You are so welcome😀

[@judyquintal1750]

Great tutorial. Thank you. One variation was that I used 2 wool needles instead of the crochet hook to complete the last row and this was a good alternative. Also, so that I could create a table runner that was narrower using the same frame, my husband inserted a timber strip at the 2/3rds point, removed 2 nails top and bottom, and added the eye things so that the rod could be inserted. I have tried to insert a photo of the modified frame but there is no option here. From Caves Beach, NSW, Australia.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I LOVE THAT!!! If you want you can email me the photo to [e-mail] or post it on our Facebook page. That sounds like a GREAT option. Love the tip to use needles - fantastic! Thanks!

[@rachelm7525]

Really clear tutorial, thanks. At the end I think I'd be tempted to switch the crochet hook for a large darning needle, but whatever works, right? 🙂

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Yes -- whatever works -- or whatever you have available! Glad you liked it!

[@GladysRWhite]

Thank you so much for this video. You're an excellent teacher, your explanations are very clear. You made it easy to learn! Your joy and excitement doing this is contagious. I will sure make my rugs from now on!!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that!

[@arlenehale2772]

I agree with Gladys. You have me excited to start a rug! Thanks for the clear instructions.

[@donragsdale5715]

Kim here...Made my 1st rag rug last week for my Americana bedroom...loved it! I have enough fabric that I have purchased over the last 40+ years to open a fabric store! I am now starting my second 1 for my hubs & my bedroom.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! If you have a chance, email me pictures, I would love to see them! [e-mail]

[@infiniteinnocence]

Great video. My boyfriend surprised me by making me this exact loom so I could make stuff ^-^ Excited to make my first rug!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That is awesome! Excited for you!

[@marney68papua]

Thankyou for sharing I am so excited that I have found someone who is doing the simple mat weave there are so many different types of looms

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

You are so welcome! Did you see the video I just put up on weaving a table runner kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qmkmZ8fbWre8k

[@rhondawilliams2140]

I asked my husband to make this rug loom for me. Can’t wait!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Fantastic!! They are so much fun to make!

[@nadina35]

Very beautiful and relaxing! You make me remember my grandmother MRP.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@christinac4507]

Very useful thank you very much mam Please can you tell me how many nails need

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Depends how wide the loom is, place the nails 1/2" apart on each end.

[@maryfrancesbaker289]

I really enjoyed your loom building video as well as this one. I really want to try this. I love the look of rag rugs. I also noticed the license plate on the wall. Iowa county 88! I live in Iowa county 87!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

My husband and I are both from Iowa. I was from Grimes and he was from the Pella area. We try to get back there every couple years to see family.

[@mipueblo7042]

What a boost of inspiration you are!! Am gonna give this a go. Thanks.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Fantastic!! Glad you are inspired -- let me know how it goes!!

[@marydevlin9559]

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Glad it was helpful!

I am a lucky owner of one of these rugs! I love it !

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

They are the coolest rugs...love them, glad you like yours!!!

[@kathleenstoin671]

Such a clever design for the loom and the process of making the rugs!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you! I enjoy the craft.

[@sonjastarr1364]

I made one of these rugs in a class and bought a loom. Waited a while to start a second rug and then couldn't remember what to do. This video was a great refresher. Thank you!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! Glad it helped!

[@griffinartandairbrushing3174]

I love the way you explain and show everything. Easy to understand. Thanks!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Happy to hear that! Appreciate it!

[@roseannehebert3682]

I am so glad to find your channel.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Me too! Thanks!

[@celestiaam7997]

Thank you very much for this fantastic and inspiring video.

[@kerrindrawdy2017]

I'm wondering if I could use small clusters (3-5 strands) of yarn using this same technique? Perhaps using large safety or diaper pins as threading tips? The linking extension strands when you reach the end of the yarn cluster would have to be knotted rather than threaded through a cut slit, but the resulting little tufts might make for an interesting texture, don't you think? Curious to know your thoughts on this. EXCELLENT tutorial! Thank you so much!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

That is exactly what I did for a table runner!! Here is a video on how I did it kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qmkmZ8fbWre8k

[@laurascott734]

Just Beautiful! I bet you could make a smaller frame and make placemats too!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Yep!! We have a few videos on different sizes and types - you might like this loom kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJjXmqqPmbSCZ6c

[@marcellahuling2867]

Just finished my first rug on this loom, awesome, thank you

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Wonderful! I LOVE that!! Warning -- once you make one, then you need to make two, three, four, etc!! They are addictive!

[@Razberuru]

@marcella huling. How long did this take? The looming portion specific :))

[@snowfire70]

wow! your directions are wonderful. And the rug is beautiful. Can't wait to start mine. thank you so much!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

[@Tsiri09]

This looks cool! Hated the caving in look when I wove in grade school "cardboard looms." i could use rugs like these in my RV.

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Yes - the rugs would be great in an RV. Maybe that will be the next one I make! Always looking for a reason to make a rug!

[@iamvanica]

My neighbor give me everything I would need to make these rugs. Frame, cut fabric and instruction manual. I still couldn't get it. However this video has me well on may way. For think I will be following your channel. Much LUV

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thank you. Have fun!

[@michellekellar2790]

I cannot believe I found this channel... I bought this "box" several years ago in a little town not far from me - the "kit" came with 6 yards of fabric of my choosing. Brought it home and forgot all about it until I came across this video. Should have found it way back when "lockdown" first started. Oh well. Happy to have found you. It came with instructions - but visual is SO much better! I also could have enrolled in classes, but that would have entailed driving 40+ miles there and back until the classes where done. You've made me very happy this morning!!

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

I think you are the one that made my morning!! Thank you for sharing that! I have another rug started, so I get to weave a new one today!!

[@jonnajimenez8025]

I'm almost finished with my second one boy am I learning a lot.

[@cathyc1079]

thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I have never made a rug but it was fascinating to watch. I may just have to try this :)

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Please do! Let me know how it goes!

[@emilye709]

This turned out so pretty! 😍

[@DIYOnTheHouse]

Thanks - totally fun to make!
