DOLLAR TREE DIY | How to Make a Farmhouse Jute Rug from Dollar Store Twine

[@kashleys9749]

Thank you so much. I truely am great ful that u showed us how to make this beautiful rug using jute twine,from the bottom of my heart. When I watched this video several months-a yr.ago,it really inspired me to try to learn crochet. I went & found/bought a large hook right away,lol. It took me all this time & almost giving up,(& learning to loom knit 1st,lwhen I became discouraged after another frustrating failed attempt @ catching onto & following a how 2 crochet the basic stitches tutorial,lol)b4 I finally felt comfortable holding the yarn & being able to control the tension & hook,while getting both hands to work 2gether at the same time. Now that I know double crochet & have that muscle memory & good enuf tension,I have come back to this video & am really going to be able 2 make this lovely rug now. I've actually found out about how to make plarn that looks like the jute cord,& hope to try making 1 of these rugs using that. I saved so many plastic bags & plan on trying 2 use my drop spindle to twist the long strand of cut bags looped 2gether into balls of plain that look just like twine,lol. I can't wait to get started soon as I send this,so again THANK YOU SO MUCH 4 sharing this idea/showing us how to make something beautiful & useful,& 4 inspiring me to learn crochet (which has led to me also learning about loom knitting & some macreme & embroidery,& just got supplies to try needle knitting soon as well😅!!!Im def.gonna 👍 & sub.afyer this too😉..Bless you & your family & take care!

I am trying to make a DIY rug and found your video. I’ve never crocheted before and most tutorials using thinner regular yarn are kinda hard to follow for a beginner especially trying to figure out which loop and chain to go into, so watching you do this with jute rope really made it so much clearer and easier to follow. Thank you!

[@thediymommy]

Have you ever tried crochet? Would you make this jute rug?

[@simpleyetchic9644]

The DIY Mommy I love making crochet! But never thought to make a rug! This is interesting! Love how it turned out! So pretty! 💕

[@thediymommy]

Thank you so much! Enjoy making it!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@triciasloft189]

Love it wish I could make this. 🤗 From BC Canada 🇨🇦 we got snow last night 🤔

[@lindeehopkins6439]

How many yards did it take ?

[@auntieyaya2597]

I would love to try this while I sip my morning coffee on the back porch! It will be so great to see it there when it’s done. I a new crocheted who like simple projects

[@peeweenpatch]

It's beautiful! I don't know how to crochet, but now I really want to learn. It's encouraging to hear you say it's easier than knitting, as I can knit, though not an expert :)

[@pdmullgirl]

Hi Christina! Really enjoyed this! I haven’t knitted in years and never learned how to crochet. I really believe I could crochet after watching your video! Thanks so much! ❤️💜💚

[@thediymommy]

So excited to hear that!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I remember my Grandma would crochet and I want to take it up because it has good memories of her. Thanks for reminding me with this crocheting video!!

[@CraftifyMyLove]

Love this. I made storage baskets from twine last winter. They would match your rug perfectly

[@thediymommy]

Nice!

[@janicebradford9780]

Great, then you can teach us how to make those. I always need more storage. I tried making some out of kitchen wire tonight but they fought back and I gave up. Jute crocheting will be easier to handle. Looking forward to seeing the storage baskets that rou made.

[@lennetteabad8606]

Make a vid!

[@AuthenticallySherrell]

What an inexpensive way to create an outdoor mat! I will definitely be saving this to revtrsre for my own home. Thanks for sharing!

[@dianejaquay]

It's awesome! I haven't crocheted in a number of years but I would definitely try this project!

[@leesmith5154]

This is gorgeous & fun & very affordable & I just love it! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful idea with everyone who is lucky enough to find & watch this!

[@thediymommy]

FAQ: How many rolls of twine did you use? Around 5, but the amount you use will vary depending on your rug's size & your gauge. Was the twine rough on your hands? It wasn't as bad as I thought, but you could wear gloves or protect your hands with lotion if you're concerned. How do you wash the rug? I shake mine out and/or vacuum it.

[@charlottehetherington8720]

Oh my gosh I love love love that rug I have tried many times to learn to crochet and have watch lots of videos on KZbin but yours explained it so well about where to begin after you do your chain stitch I'm definitely going to try this it looks so fun and relaxing thank you so very much for sharing

[@thediymommy]

You're welcome!

[@Starractcrenshaw]

That looks awesome I'm going to make one as soon as I heal from this rotator cuff surgery.😊 Great job!

[@jennwatson74]

I love to crochet but I’ve never crocheted with jute, what an awesome idea!! Thanks for sharing!!!💞

[@bluecurlygirl]

I've seen many of your videos but this one has to be amongst my favourites. Love how the rug came out. It's given me an idea for the bathroom - and I get to use all that jute that would be lovely in cardmaking and it's still sitting untouched! And the big crochet hook that is sitting unused too. Sure it'd be a shame not to try.

[@ssg8051]

I definitely could not crochet that quickly, LOL. Then again, I doubt I could crochet in real time. Ha. The rug looks great, Christina. Cheers, Ardith

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! Yes, it took much longer to make than this sped up video. 😊

[@susanvelez6534]

WOW what a great rug . I was just looking at rag rug videos then I saw this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻

[@christinabeiderbecke9625]

I LOVE to crochet and I am definitely making this jute rug! Thank you for showing us such clear instructions in your friendly way!

[@shaymay2352]

When I was living In Jordan and during my high school years in the winter, i crocheted. I used a thinner stainless steel crochet and made a sweater for my younger brother. Your rug turned out beautiful I love the rustic look. 💐

[@thediymommy]

Wow, that sounds so interesting!

[@delindawilliams3935]

I love it and I love to crochet. I have a huge ball of laces, like shoes laces that I'm thinking of using to do this type of project with,(in a circular pattern), I actually started some time ago but because I have been doing other things I have not completed it as yet. It's also a little bit time-consuming since they're not connected to each other I have to stop and tie them together as I go along. I'm currently recovering from shoulder surgery, so watching this is a relaxing therapy for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@jansmith4411]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤ this idea, and I LOVE ❤ to crochet, so I will DEFINITELY be making some of these BEAUTIFUL, JUTE RUGS for my home and deck !!!... Thanks so much for sharing this project idea with all of us !!! ❤❤❤

[@thediymommy]

You're welcome! Give it a try, it was a lot of fun to make :)

[@jansmith4411]

Thanks, I definitely will !!! ❤❤❤

[@LoomLilly]

years ago I bought string from the dollar tree, and did a star crochet rug, using three strands of the string together, came out really nice

[@jessicaraymond3360]

I love this...I'm very new to crochet, but I want to try this!! Thank you for sharing.

[@lisajanes2989]

Love, love , love this rug! I crochet but have never thought about a jute rug; thanks for the great idea.

[@juliettewalker3770]

This was very good project I will diffinately make a rug for our kitchen. Job well done thank you for sharing 👍

[@ourdiyary]

What a great idea!!! I have never mastered crocheting, but I can knit! (I know, that’s kinda backwards!) so much cheaper than buying a jute rug!

[@jo-annbarr7866]

I love it haven't crochet in years but I will definitely make this rug. I'm going out tomorrow to buy the jute. Thank you for the great tutorial.

[@thediymommy]

You're welcome! Give it a try, the pattern is quite simple :)

[@msladydea1963]

That is really very simple but yet very Country. I love it. Thank you.

[@MM-yl3eb]

Wow that looks greath Definitely wanna try this one. Never ever crocheted before..wish me luck 👍

[@dashabbycottageflipmore6731]

I will definitely try it I love making crochet stuff

[@elizabethpelenato346]

Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve been eating to purchase one for my dinning room unfortunately they are pretty pricy. So this definitely helps and looks fun to learn.

[@kathrynkeller9261]

Big dollar store shopper. I was just saying that I need to get a rug for the entry way of our house. I'm going to make this. It's perfect! Looks great!

[@thediymommy]

Thanks

[@minikorsi]

Wow! I love the rustic textured look. This would easily retail for $100 or more! 👍🏻💕

[@gabmag30]

I loooove this idea now I want to make a table runner or placemats and maybe even pillow covers just for the look!

[@thediymommy]

Great ideas!

[@leaht4505]

Beautiful rug, Christina! Yes, I crotchet but have never used jute!😊I will have to try that though! Thanks for sharing♥️❤️💜

[@tamarawright4385]

I wish that I could crochet! That’s beautiful!

[@leonieyoung5463]

You did an excellent job explaining this DIY project.

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@wellnesswithlajo6570]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I did crochet for years through my teens and twenties but then got into other things. Now I'm doing a lot of DIY house cleaners and spice powders so getting back to crochet is the next step. I need new doormats before the rainy season and I've got lots of twine in the backyard supplies. All I need is a large needle. Subscribed and will be looking for more ideas.

[@nanlauber398]

Hi Christina! ☺ This is a brilliant DIY!!! ❤ Very country, farmhouse looking, for sure! 🌻 Tfs. 🌷

[@Helen-ym3md]

I love this! I have crocheted place mats and coasters with string, so think I could manage this. As you say, it's very relaxing to do, great idea.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks Helen! Give it a try and let me know how it turns out for you! You can find me on instagram and facebook, @thediymommy - happy crocheting!

[@aliciaunaryan4751]

It must be so satisfying making something for your home & I think the fringe completes the rug. It's really pretty. Greetings from South Africa

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@92128PJ]

Amazing you! Wow, just two inexpensive items, you made them to be an awesome rug. I love it. I haven't crochet for many years, but I will try to do it . Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to see your porch on Monday.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks for watching!

[@DarkMoonDroid]

10:14 XLNT! This is 5 balls of jute. That's really great and can be done in more shapes as well. I love crochet and have been learning and practicing new stitches. I'm looking forward to finding some practical projects like this for my home and of those I love. Thanks!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you for watching!

[@nancyvalentine5923]

Wow beautiful, definitely something I would like to try

[@ashasoans1171]

I never thought I can make a jute mat, it's beautiful thanks for sharing.

[@thediymommy]

You sure can! Thanks for watching :)

[@lillianolivier5539]

Absolutely stunning!!! Need to learn crochet asap!!😍

[@marya.1650]

Love how this turned out!! I learned to crochet very young but haven't done any in years. It IS relaxing and with some projects you can take it with you anywhere. I would love to try this rug. Thank you for sharing!! 💜

[@antoniamangold7312]

Thanks so much for this great idea. I plan to make a rug for my deck. I have been crocheting for many years I have done many intricate projects from yarn to thread. I’ve done wedding decor to christening dresses to cocktail dresses to baby clothes and Afghan’s. Can’t wait to try this project. Thanks again and I’ve subscribed and look forward to many more videos.

[@thediymommy]

Wonderful! Thanks for subscribing!

[@colleenbeamer6403]

Love this idea! I know how to both knit and crochet, but I much prefer crocheting because it goes faster! 😊 I've got a couple of crochet projects on the go, but I think I'm going to try this as a mat in front of my kitchen sink.

[@nishas8566]

Really cute!! I want to try this for my backyard space as well, maybe mix a color or two..I love it

[@kathybeck5957]

I LOVE this!!!!! Thank you. I crochet and loom. How wonderfully AWESOME!!!!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! I'd love to try looming!

[@kathybeck5957]

I was given the looms from a friend. I learned how to use them from You Tube.@@thediymommy

[@deezie78]

I love crocheting and I love this rug. I will 100% make one. Great video***

[@thediymommy]

That's great! Let me know how it turns out for yoU!

[@gregpeyton7449]

Kudos! Excellent idea! And so inexpensive! I think I’m going to do it with the waffle weave stitch. That will give a great texture too!

[@alainaruble163]

I have used jute for macrame but never thought about crocheting it, cute rug!

[@JayceeCali]

You are so creative and talented! Love the way it turned out and the fringe is essential and adds that boho flair.

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! Yes, I love the fringe.

[@Jane-yr2cg]

I absolutely love the rug! 😍❤️

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@mariafrancescademaddis2560]

Love it! I’m going to work on one for my teeny tiny patio this summer. Thanks for a great idea!

[@jaejarrett]

I don't crochet so I shared it with my husband who does crochet with a message saying, please, will you make me one? I love it!!

[@thediymommy]

LOL! Love it!

[@conniedovalina3393]

What a great idea. Thank you I feel inspired as well. I love to crochet.

[@charlottethehousegoat5960]

Love how that turned out. Ive been wanting to make a circular rug out of jute, now I'm inspired to try that striped pattern! thanks.

[@thediymommy]

You're welcome! Give it a try :)

[@sharronharding8112]

Soooo cute!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!

[@cynthiakiy1406]

Very nice. Looks great on your porch. I’m going to the dollar store to buy some jute. You inspired me. Thanks.

[@thediymommy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Anna-lr6ue]

I absolutely love this 😍 So easy but so beautiful. I love the simple textures and rustic style. Thank you ❤

[@AngelaGonzalez-kd8sz]

Nice , I live in the desert and have a balcony, I would so do this for that space.

[@thediymommy]

That would work well!

[@walshjoy51]

I think I’ll make a round one, thanks for the inspiration!

[@The_Tinkers_Cottage]

What a great idea, thanks for sharing Christina. You do such a fantastic job of explaining the whole process from beginning to end making all your project really easy to achive. This is a project that I can see myself tackling soon, we have an upcoming out of state move so packing in on the "To Do" list as the moment. Thanks again!

[@thediymommy]

Glad you liked it!

[@triciag3311]

It is so awesome! I love it! I haven't crocheted in years but I definitely want to make this rug. It looks beautiful.

[@solomon2424]

Love it! Great video! Crocheting is one of my favorite hobbies & I'm trying to brach out from just doing the same ole blanket over & over again & this inspired me to make some jute rugs for my house.

[@thediymommy]

That's awesome!

[@TeamThompsonX4]

Ooh I love this! I’ve never crocheted before, but it doesn’t seem too intimidating. Im going to try making one for my kitchen!

[@thediymommy]

Great idea!

[@Jo-ww5ei]

I’d give anything to learn to crochet. I’ve tried for years. There’s just a hand-brain disconnect. Lol. However, this rug is amazing and you’re very talented.

[@christinahutchison3967]

This is an amazing project I am doing the similar stitches on a weighted blanket for my daughter. And I found that at the end of each row if I went under both loops it made the edges sturdier so it wasn’t so flimsy in pulled apart I don’t know whether that would work the same with Jude or notJust to make the edges more substantial. But I can’t wait to go and get some twine I’ve got the Hook and I will be doing this project as soon as I’m done with my blanket. Thank you and I love your channel.

[@foxxybrown291]

Love it! Looks gorgeous on your porch. I’m sure they’ll look great inside too xx

[@shewearsfunnyhat]

That looks great. Have you tried to crochet a rug from fabric scraps?

[@cheryllytle4955]

I love to. Crochet to and I absolutely love this Idea! Thank you! Please do more crochet videos ❤️

[@ladonnawashington1643]

Great job. Great idea. I’m gonna make one for my porch. Yayyyyyyyy. Thank you.

[@angelaedwards5349]

Excellent idea. Love it!

[@teaandjamswithbarbaraann54]

Love the look of this rug. I need to try it. I have the perfect spot on my porch for it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@deborahsmith2583]

This is lovely, great job! I like a good few crafts, but crochet is definitely my favourite! Xx

[@lydiae5385]

Your voice is so relaxing!

[@naidaanstey547]

WOW That is super impressive!!!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@laurathomas4396]

Absolutely LOVE it! Definitely going to have to make one...did your hands feel rough afterwards though? I may have to stock up on utter balm because of the jute cord texture on my hands

[@thediymommy]

Haha, good idea! I was worried about that, but it didn't bother my hands as much as I thought it might.

[@saltdoll5288]

This is exactly the question I had! I’m glad I read the comments.

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

Jute twine will stripe your hands of moisture and will tear up them up something fierce! I thought crocheting up some baskets would be beautiful and totally rustic-looking - my hands hated me all month long while undertaking that project! Never again but your rug is nice!

[@thediymommy]

Thanks! This wasn't as bad as I thought.

[@vickeycook6902]

I absolutely love this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@christinagoulart1611]

Beautiful!! I made a little market grocery bag using that jute cord. Love it! Such a great idea for my front porch :)

[@wendelynyoung8609]

Christina Goulart was the jute rough on your hands?

[@christinagoulart1611]

Wendelyn Young - I actually used my fingers to crochet instead of a needle and didnt find it too bad. It was more because I was trying to do it fast that I got arm/forearm cramps, lol.

[@yvettespence8647]

Will certainly give it a try.

[@estherwolf4354]

Yes I Definately want to try it. Currently working on a jute table scarf

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Awesome! I love to crochet so this would be a fun project, I'm already planning how big to make my rug, thank you for sharing this video, love this project!

[@thediymommy]

Have fun!

[@marnilane6124]

This is fantastic! I will absolutely be recreating this piece 😍 I just recently got back into crocheting and I forgot just how much I missed it.

[@thediymommy]

It's so fun & relaxing!

[@marnilane6124]

It truly is. I can’t believe that I stopped crocheting for so many years. What was I thinking 😏

[@Andrea-mw2nq]

Love your mat

[@lorikeogan2457]

I really enjoyed this video!! And your rug turned out beautifully ❣️ I forgot how easy it is to crochet & if I could I would definitely make this rug, as you did. Great designer touch & I love natural jute rugs❣️ Thank you so much for the reminder. Sincerely Lori K.

[@thediymommy]

Thank you so much! It was definitely a fun & relaxing project

[@raynesprimm8325]

Love this and I’m going to crochet this rug.

[@thediymommy]

That's great!!

[@2010pallen]

Awesome rug! I am going to try this. God bless, Peggy

[@jerryrogers903]

Beautiful love it not crochet but can appreciate the time and the beauty that comes out great job

[@irishka_zolotse]

Would this slip easily? I did not see you attached some non slip underlayment, but I would highly suggest to avoid any injury.

[@elec2881]

Beautiful idea & it turned out great. I love to crochet.
