Toothbrush Rug Square / Rectangle. How to make.

[@JuneRamsey-gn2yc]

Thank you for explaining this craft so well. I have my material ready and am going to try my hand at rug making.

[@robinwolfe8086]

Thank you for these videos! You make it so easy to understand and I keep going back and re-watching especially this one to try to get the rectangle right. I have found that working on these rugs is a great stress reliever.

[@bobbiemcclure4553]

I love that you keep it uncomplicated. Easy to understand instructions. Thank you!

[@katiketo1]

👍😃

[@pattymullin8515]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I love simplicity. So many videos were suggesting to get clamps for this, pins for that, a board for whatever, etc. I just knew I didn't need all of that and finally found your excellent, no muss, no fuss method. Thank you so much for your excellent video with the step-by-step instructions. Simplicity still survives and your end result is just gorgeous.

[@zoeemiko8149]

You've taken out all the confusion. Such a wonderfully clear tutorial! Thank you!!

[@meow0103]

Wow... I was searching for a rectangular rug DIY and am I thrilled to have found you. I have been wanting to make a bedside rug runner and I love this ❤.So I am going to try my hand at this. Your instructions are very clear and your work is very neat. Thank you very much indeed for sharing. 💕💕💕

[@i.france4714]

Just amazing 😍

[@sushiblack5558]

Thank you. You made everything really clear. First video that was so understandable. Very neat work.

[@amethystgarnet3161]

That was the most clear and understandable demonstration of this weave technique I have ever seen. Flipping it over makes so much more sense to me than trying to navigate a turn. Thank you!

[@sharonwhitehead5193]

Thank you and you are welcome.

[@lafifer]

Thank you so much for your excellent video tutorial! You made the complicated seem easy! Other videos were so confusing. I enjoy your soothing voice and calm manner., It looks like I can do this - and it looks very relaxing, too! Thank you once again!

[@nycp7881]

Finally finished mine - great directions. You;re right, it's difficult to start he first 2 rows, but then much easier. Not bad outcome for the first try. Pretty happy with my outcome (wish I could show but can't, it seems). Thank you!

[@hfufhdhdh9349]

Какая же вы рукодельница, просто обожаю вас, всегда с удовольствием смотрю ваши работы

[@amyreay5007]

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Thanks Amy.

[@gaylekress5640]

[@sharonwhitehead5193]

[@melissaworgren5235]

[@sandrageiman-tr4mh]

Hello,I hope that if I watch this enough , I might just learn how to do,this is very explanatory. Thank You.

[@melaniehopkins7541]

Love your tutorial. Thank you so much! Cheers from Washington state!

[@Claudia-i2h]

What a lovely colors and rug. Is helping me to start my rug. Thank you for sharing.

[@thethriftyfawn]

Oh my goodness, that rug is SO PRETTY!!! I would totally love to have one at home, as well as be able to give one to a loved one as a gift. I definitely need to give this a try! Thank Sharon for filming and uploading this!

[@karrieclark3429]

Thank you for teaching me this . I've always loved these rugs.

[@sharryheighton2900]

I enjoyed your lesson and have made some rag rugs during covid. You are easy to follow, thank you from British Columbia, Canada.

[@BCSue]

Hi BC, BC Canada here as well 🇨🇦❤🙏

[@jackieburnett6881]

That is absolutely beautiful! This is a fantastic tutorial!!!! I have never seen anyone do this! Ty for this amazing video

[@nancysims7106]

thank you for showing me how to do this, I have made a slight change in materials though. I have been using Plarn instead of rags... and it makes a sturdy mat, I am making cushions for my hard wooden chairs. I will be covering them in material and making velcro ties to hold them in place. It does take over 100 plastic bags however to make a decent seat cushion, I don't make "strips" out of the pieces , but instead make one loop with each bag, and chain them together as I go... works really well for me.

[@j.munday7913]

Very clear and easy to follow thank you. :) Now to go make a rug for my kitchen!

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I have a few jelly rolls (2.5 inch pre cut fabric strips) that I bought on sale. I plan on using them for a rug. I like the video it give ne the how-to.

[@sherryramsey7843]

Totally awesome, I have some of the needles like that but didn't know what to do with them. I bought them with a bunch of sewing things so I left it there and figured I would eventually know what their for. You make this seem so easy. I can't wait to do one. Grandma always had these in her house. I loved them.

[@rumamohan9913]

[@Sarjexigan]

FANTASTIC tutorial! Thank you!

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Добрый день) Давно хотела научиться так плести коврики. Спасибо Вам за великолепный урок!

[@pamburkhalter1884]

Wonderful!! Really enjoyed the video and the directions were fantastic. Thank you

[@Believe30]

Thank you so much. It makes so much more sense to switch the needle to the other side every time!

[@usedtobekern]

Your teaching is the best I've found!❤ Would you please teach how to smoothly change color on a round rug?

[@cathycirina-chiu6972]

[@madalenagomes8902]

Maravilhoso trabalho! Didática perfeita! Já assisti dezenas de vídeos, mas nenhum como o seu, fácil de entender e executar. Parabéns! Obrigada por compartilhar! 💥💥

[@MarySmith-ve8gt]

Thankyou so much that was really easy to follow all the best to you.

[@sharonopstbaum1023]

Am trying to decide on how many stitches for my initial chain and number of rows and wonder, will there be shrinkage of the final product upon washing and machine drying? Will be using well worn cotton sheet strips. I made a practice rug from my old well-worn gaberdine slacks and was shocked to find it shrunk upon washing! I so enjoyed making it as your instructions were perfect. Thanks!

[@nehakapoor8552]

Wow!! Nice tutorial. Thank you

[@patriciamaqueda2782]

Thank you so much for teaching me! I will try to do mine soon, i have a question, how well they hold the washer!? Or do i need to wash it by hand!?

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Thanks Patricia, They are ok for machine washing if cotton sheets and can last for years. Sharon.

[@beckydavis3203]

Best tutorial EVER! Thank you!

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Thanks Becky. Glad it was helpful. Sharon.

[@shannonsimpson1100]

Thank you for a fantastic video it was done so clearly that I’m going to give it a try

[@debrabaker2807]

How does it work if you do it a bit tighter? So its not so "loopy" for lack of a better word..... Or is this not recommended? Thank you for your guidance .

[@nedragreen2170]

I love U tutorial it was the best I seen in all the videos I have seen so far thank you it made it easy and simple So then I could really understand

[@kristinaginorio1344]

have you ever made this type of rug with woolen fabric?

[@ImGinaMarie]

Very very nice, I will definitely make one!! Now, I need a round one too...

[@dianathefiberfan]

Great instructional video on toothbrush rectangular rug!😀👍🏼

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Thanks Diana.

[@karenfoster5705]

[@silverbell2356]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. The way you explained everything give me the confidence to try this. Take care and keep safe. 💕

[@patelrekha9215]

It's fantastic! I try at my home 6 doormats. REALLY I LIKE UR VIDEO

[@janadams5108]

Hello, great tutorial. I just finished an oval one 30x40 inches made with flannel sheets. But I love this size and have the perfect spot for a narrow one. Thank you so much.

[@qq1651]

Great tutorial! I did notice, though, that you started with 12 and ended with 10 lol. I made a round one with sheets and there were so many strings coming off. How did you prevent that from happening? Thanks!

[@corinaa783]

I'm in the US and the link just throws me back to Facebook, I can't connect to the eBay link. Is there another way to get to it, or is there no international sales? You're a great instructor btw BEST VIDEOS I've seen and heard. Thanks and please keep them coming.

[@joannebell6293]

Thank you so much for your tutorial it helped me out immensely 👍

[@lynnfletcher3298]

Very clear and simple!

[@stellara2000]

Very good explanation! Now I understand !!👍☺

[@janetlafoy2333]

I love your videos. Thank you so much. Can you tell me if using sheets how do you keep them from fraying so much?

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Hi Janet, Thanks. Some sheets fray more than others. It helps if you cut them with scissors rather than tearing. Sharon.

[@janetlafoy2333]

@@alanwhitehead9756 I have tried both was but still have the fraying. Is there a way to clean it up so it doesn’t look so bad? I don’t mind personally, but I know some do.

[@jeannestrader6471]

On your Facebook page you have a half circle toothbrush rug and I was hoping you had a tutorial on it. I really want to make one or two of them. Or maybe a pattern of it. Pleas help me.

[@Thegirlwholovespoem]

Looking forward to your tutorial on heart shaped rug :)

[@maryv7495]

Thank you! Clear and concise instructions

[@boatmanalan]

Thank you Mary.

[@themonnie81]

Thank you from Holland!! Now I know what to do with my old duvet covers😉

[@Anonymous-dr8qn]

I absolutely love your videos and your accent is so lovely. I have a question I want to start one of these rugs what is the best width for the fabric? I have some beautiful peach and creams I want to use. They are jelly rolls from a fabric store and amazon. I think they are about 3 inches in width. Is that too wide?

[@user-xd1gt2nv2f]

Love your videos, thank you!!

[@kendracrisco1225]

Love this and thank you so much. One question 🤔 why do they call it "toothbrush" rug?

[@alanwhitehead9756]

Hi Kendra, It was because the old toothbrushes were made of wood with a hole in the end. They would cut off the bristles and sharpen the end and use it as a needle to make the rugs. Thanks Sharon.

[@doloresmrotek2931]

WONDERFUL video, thank you SO much, you make it simple & clear, thanks again. I am a rug braider but want to try this method of toothbrush braiding and have enjoyed your video.....can't wait to watch others of yours and look at your E-Bay kit options. Thank you...... thank you.... for making the time to make these videeos!!!!

[@NannyOggins]

Well explained, I've never tried this but it seems to me you would struggle less if you had some kind of frame to hold your work.

[@libertywest5835]

I'm not sure where you've gone - but ty for your videos !

[@teresaolofson1377]

is it called a toothbrush because the needle you use is a toothbrush handle?

[@sharonwhitehead5193]

The one I am using is wooden but yes they used to take the bristles of the end and sharpen into a point and the old toothbrushes had a hole in the handle so you could use them to thread the material
