How to DIY Simple Rug from Fabric Scraps

Making rugs or mats from fabric scraps is a nice way to recycle your old T-shirts and here is an example. It’s quite easy to make. Simply cut the size you want for your rug and cut your T-shirts into strips. With a simple tool such as a wooden stick, pass the strips through the burlap and tie them. Continue the same step and you’ll have this special rug to decorate your home or use as bath rug.

Here are the things you may need:

• Burlap: 84 cm x 54 cm;
• Scraps from old T-shirts;
• Scissors;
• Wooden stick;
• Needle;
• Thread;
• Cardstock for template of the strips.

The following is a similar project using old towels to make the rug.
