Anti rug slip mat , or a latch rug canvas with a 1cm grid width.

Fabric scissors

HOW TO MAKE A RAG RUG:

This rag rug is very simple to make, but can be very time consuming.

I basically cut up 3 single (twin) bed sheets I had which I no longer used in to strips of approximately 15cm x 3cm. I then knotted each strip to the anti rug slip.

Check out my video tutorial below to find out exactly how I did this.

And thats how the rug is made. The good thing about using bedding is that you can wash it on a 30•c wash (which I have done with no problems).

Here is a picture of the underside of the rag rug.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. To see more of my work please visit my Facebook page Beautiful Painted Furniture.
