Do you have plenty of cloths at home you deem that are of little worth already? You do not have to dispose them because they can still be of great value in your mundane activities. A brilliant idea is to recycle them to be transformed as crochet rugs. All you have to do here is to choose fabrics that you fancy and set them aside as you also prepare other materials for your project. The tools that you need are scissors, hook, needle and threads. After, decide on what should be the exact size of the rugs that you will be working on. However, you can already settle the dimensions as you move along the process.

Step One

With the employment of the scissors, create a snip on the smallest side of the cloth in every inch. See to it that the shears are straight. Once you are done, tear the fabric into strips. Organize what you have frayed by color. Take note that you do not have to rip the whole but just a few so you also have “reserved trimmings” that will be utilized later on to accomplish the crochet rugs. As for the background of the design, determine what should be the dominant shade to appear. You can arrange the strips in a manner where the combination is gradual in style. However, this all depends on your taste.

Step Two

Take hold of strips and sew each end so they will be attached. Create about three rows where you can have a little stitch at every single end. Lay the ends that have been hemmed above one another. With the employment of a needle and thread, darn them and make sure that it is secure. By not cutting the thread, create a chain of roughly about six inches long. Lock the ends of the chain while you also leave an extra thread that will be utilized to sew all of the trimmings. Afterwhich, you can proceed to the braiding process then make another loop that is about a minimum of four inches long.

Step Three

Create three other strips as what was previously described. However, you do not have to sew the ends all together. Make several braids as well that you have to begin assembling so that the crochet rugs will be manageable. There is an array left for you to choose such as a loop in a zigzag effect or the conventional round run. By employing the needle and thread, stitch them together. After all is in place, cut the ends especially if there are extra strips that have not been properly hemmed. You can also darn the piece once again so you can be assured of the strength. This is essential so you do not have to perform repairs in the long haul.

With crochet rugs on the floor, you will have happy feet.
