Rag Rug is almost done.
Do you ever wonder what to do with old table cloths, jeans, or scraps of material? Recycle them into a very usable rag rug.

First cut the material into strips of cloth about 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) by any length. Use scraps of equal thickness so the rug will be all the same thickness.

Then fold the edges in !/4 inch, (6.35 mm)

Fold that in half to one inch (2.54 cm)

Sew the edges and braid three strands of differing lengths.

Stitch the braids together to form the size of rug you desire. We have used cotton thread in the past but are now trying fishing monofilament. Stitch on the back side of rug only, so it won’t show.
