DIY Vintage Rag Rug

I love rugs! What woman doesn't? We have a "No Shoes Allowed" policy in our home. This is mainly to keep dirt and public filth being tracked into the house to a minimum. Besides, I grew up helping my grandmother shake out and beat out her throw rugs. As I got older she would wash and hang dry the rugs at the end of every Winter and Spring.

Here is my first attempt at making a DIY Vintage Rag Rug!

I checked my favorite spots for ideas- www.Pinterest.com and www.Google.com. To make my DIY Vintage Rag Rug I followed a simple tutorial you can find here.

My supplies were bought at the local thrift store for pennies on the dollar! I used old cotton sheets/linens. For my tool, I used a hair barrette! It was small enough to weave, strong enough to hold fabric strips and long enough to handle and maneuver through loops.

It took me a few weeks to put this together. I would spend maybe ten or fifteen minutes once or twice each week. The final project may take up to four or five hours total.

I will be making more of these! I have already started a rectangle rag rug to match this one. After the kitchen rebuild is completed, they will be the rugs for in front of the sink and stove!

Enjoy!
