How to Weave Rug from Old Clothes? ♻️

[@LenaBritArtist]

Let's summarize. For this rug I used: 4 knitted jumpers, 3 t-shirts, 2 sport pants, viscose shirt and slip dress, off-shoulder cotton top, tights, cotton skirt, wool skirt, quilted scarf. Let's save our planet together. 🌍

We have too many things that can be recycled filling up our landfills.

[@MaryAnnNytowl]

​@@SaraH-zt1ek absofreakinglutely we do! I'm collecting things right now for a) t-shirt yarn, and b) plastic recycling (like Brothers Make on here are doing), and as I always do, watching for yarn to repurpose for my crocheting. Plus, I'm finally learning to sew, after decades, and using the thrift store near the doctor's office I go to every month for cheap materials! Keeps lots out of the landfill that way!

[@lovelykids7747]

Wooow fantastic

[@ravikd1543]

Beautiful! Its time consuming task though! I think, we need to give such not in use clothes to some unemployed people so that they can follow the process and make something for their living by selling the same.

These rugs can be a wonderful memorial for someone too. My great great grandma made 2 area rugs out of her husband’s clothes after he passed. She had two children so each got one. They’ve been passed down and fast forward to today, I have a beautiful rug that reminds me of a long gone loved one. It is my favorite possession.

[@umiluv]

That’s a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing that.

[@cherylmiller732]

My grandma do same thing we had two or three of them in hall . It I’d old tradition to do craft in past . Glad see it coming back again

[@Dorogieosetine]

Я сшила подушку в стиле печворк из маминых красивых футболок, которые она носила перед своим уходом. Теперь её внуки смотрят на них. Это малое что мы можем сделать, чтоб не выкидывать любимые вещи наших ушедших родственников.

[@tinejohansen396]

Such beautiful work. The colour combination is exquisite. I think the rug belongs on the wall, as a piece of art. Much love from Ireland..

[@elizabethashley1462]

Thanks you for ENG version. I've watched original videos but having your audio explanation does help. And I have lots of clothes that aren't able to donate that I want to recycle.

[@apostababelindajames7461]

I love the fact that you made your own loom.

[@SH-Amina-vx4jk2kt1m]

Это вешалка для одежды

[@mikkinkead6563]

Same! I paused and zoomed in because I was so impressed. A great idea!

[@scootermom1791]

That is the most beautiful rug I have ever seen made from recycled clothing! I've always thought I'd have to go out to buy more thrift store tshirts to complete such a rug because I didn't know you could use different fabrics. Glad you made this video to show it's possible to use various fabrics. I'm impressed you even incorporated a knitted sweater and a quilted fabric in the rug.

[@stabletableandcrafts]

Incredible. Your skill and method creates a beautiful rug. You put much time and effort into your work. Thank you for demonstrating the exact steps to fold old fabrics and clothes into strips for neat weaving.

[@roxannebowerman5308]

I’m very appreciative of the time and effort that you took to show us how you make this beautiful work of art. Thank you ever so much!! ❤

[@НатальяПрусова-л5щ]

Вы проделали колоссальную работу, очень аккуратно и качестаенно. Замечательный коврик получился. ВЫ БОЛЬШОЙ МАСТЕР!

[@sajeewanichandrika7838]

The quality of patience you have to create such creations is amazing

[@monicalynnjames]

Thank you so much for sharing this, it is gorgeous. I can see that extra step of ironing and sewing the strips makes this recycled rug look so pretty. I have wanted to try this recycle project but your process has really helped me to see the steps. Thank you

[@janetmichel3009]

My first reaction when seeing the rug: I WANNA DO THAT!! After watching the video: that's a lot of work, not so sure about that now! It's beautiful though and all that extra work really paid off. It looks very neat, not to mention beautiful!

[@spookymu1der]

i thought the same, but perhaps one could start by making something smaller like a couple of place mats or a pot holder instead!

[@heidig22]

Love that rug !! Great video !! I mostly make mine out of fabric strips that are leftover from quilting, old bedsheets, tablecloth and things like that. Your method is really new to me. I'm going to give it a try this winter.

[@clairewyndham1971]

I absolutely love that binding!! I have made many "rag rugs" but I am never happy with the finished design. I love this.

[@zahzahzee]

So much simpler than I was expecting. Very clever

[@Pl4ntl4dy]

Your rug is absolutely lovely! Thank you for the clear instructions too.

[@the_Mrs.]

Beautiful end result, if you have a bunch of clothes to repurpose. I recently made a rug for the floor in front of the toilet, using one pair of my husband’s worn out work jeans. I cut the pant legs into strips about 4 cm wide, sewed them together lengthwise. Hemmed all the edges and then put it through the wash a couple times. The rough edges with the fray exposed face up to catch the dirt and cushion your feet and when it gets dirty you just toss in the wash. It was a quick, one afternoon project and kept that material out of the landfill! Very easy & satisfying.

[@Bellllllz]

Very cool idea!

[@rhonda1891]

That turned out beautiful…love the colors

[@Deepa0309]

The best moment of the detail, u fast forwarded the video...how to weave it in😮

[@britishkashmiri169]

Thank you for this , it’s an amazing use of old clothing and brilliant idea to use handing rail as a loom, genius. ❤ I would use pipe cleaners to thread the ends through the rug, and use slip knot to tie the foundation strings so it’s easier to untie them. My late grandma used to make these and she used any type of fabric to make rugs and throws.

[@earthmagic1]

You did an amazing job, both in colour choices and quality of work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@armrugatewood9110]

I just watched your making of rag rug.. Green is my fav color! I’m impressed with your craft woman ship in planning & construction. And I love your neat & tight hand sticking- just beautiful

[@afafbenmesli7676]

Fabulous 😍🤩 in our family tradition, we would make rugs and blankets the same way but using yarn and stretching t-shirt fabric of different colours. We don't make bias ribbons, we just cut the strips, stretch them to make them rounded and then use them directly to weave the item ...thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@vlastitel8517]

Невероятная трудяга! Получилось очень красиво и качественно! Браво!

[@pamspeers8873]

It was wonderful watching this video but I wanted to see specifically how the weaving got done. And was pretty disappointed that I couldn't watch the weaving happening

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

I've been watching upcycling videos today and your rug has to be the prettiest I've seen using old clothing strips. I haven't watched the video yet, but will tomorrow AM. The colors and professionally done finish caught my eye right before shutting down for the night. I'd given up the idea of using my old clothes fabrics for such a project until I saw your beautiful green rug. Now I want to know how to do it in such a beautiful way. Thanks for sharing!

[@hi-qh4kc]

These are some of the videos which makes me feel "I can never to do so atleast I will watch it" By the way great work😍

[@Debbie4729]

So beautiful! It is always satisfying to complete a project made by hand,and enjoy using it! You did a great job!

That looks stunning. How much work! And I like that you used the hanger as a base for your weaving. What a fantastic rug.

I dunno if this is something that has already been said, but I love your accent. The way you say certain words, like bias and iron, feel just beautiful to my ears, and makes me want to just stop and listen for longer. You would be amazing as an audiobook narrator.

I made a scrap rug on somebody else's loom once, and it was so fun (and challenging) to make and design! Yours turned out lovely, but I really want to know more about the loom you used. (It almost looks like a clothing rack, but it must be pretty sturdy, I imagine!)

It looks identical to my "RIGGA" clothing rack from IKEA.

Beautiful rug! Great idea and execution! Is it possible to wash such a rug in a washing machine?

[@MsSmartmedia]

I love the colors. Beautiful work 🌺What kind of weaving string did you use and how did you wrap the string on the metal bars on your clothes rack?

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

@Elaine Ogren • You may want to rewatch, but I believe she used the yarn from the sweater her mother knit for her. It also looked like she used a hitch to attach each bundle of 3 rather than doing a continuous warp.

[@Jadefrost_10]

this is awesome, i was thinking to make one as well, my only issues is, how does one wash suich a rug ? I think is stiff enough and can't be put ina washing machine, or ?

[@savadove]

I'm trying to make straps but it would really be a help if I could know the metal thing you're using to slip the prices of fabric through that automatically folds it for you! ❤ I love the blue rug you made and this one!
