Make A Rug Out Of Any Fabric

After my diy weaving project i felt like i needed another challenge so i decided to tackle another large scale project that s been on my list a diy rug from scratch.

Make a rug out of any fabric.

If you needed a larger rug you would need to sew two pieces of fabric together and press the seam flat to make a larger area rug. With projects like this the personalizing possibilities are truly endless any color scheme would be fun. I am not sure the rug could be any larger than the width of the fabric you choose. Ready to make one yourself.

The rug has been in the girls room for about 2 weeks now and it easily fluffs up with a little shake and appears to be holding up well. Then lay the fabric right side up on top of those two layers making sure it is nice and flat as well image 1. If you don t have a sewing machine there are plenty of easy rag rug making techniques that don t require sewing. If needed add extra spray adhesive along the edges of the fabric and the rubber mat.

Most fabrics are 44 54 wide. Weaving braiding knotting and crochet are some of the ways to make a no sew rag rug. Starting with the long sides fold the fabric edges up over the mat. 1 x 5 strips of fabric.

Here are 7 ways to make a rag rug that can be used with both jersey or woven fabric. And you can make one too any size you want. If you added two inches of fabric fold the fabric on top of itself first to create a hem and then fold over the mat. Lay the cotton batting on top of the rug pad also pressing out any creases or folds.

Press it flat to remove all creases. The feel of the fabric is stiff like walking on padded vinyl.
