Summer - hot season, which are prepared for the entire year, and then he suddenly comes to an end with the holidays and vacations. After that, all the things that you have been chosen for the sunny days, go to the shelves, and some - even in the trash. T-shirts, for example, quickly fade and lose its shape, the next summer they will no longer be useful. But do not take the time to let them on the cloth or throw away! Authors YouTube-Channel "Master Sergeitch" found use old t-shirt for this master class will not need any special tools!

That can be used for weaving

Many are grandmothers wove mats from literally all that could no longer be worn. In the case were the old dressing gowns, towels, tablecloths and other things. If you will move your wardrobe - certainly you find a bunch of items that can find a second life in a new way.

In the case of the authors of the channel - had accumulated a lot of summer T-shirts and T-shirts that the children were only a season. After repeated washings collars stretched themselves a little faded T-shirts or faded. But if you turn inside out - a very bright paint.

Getting Started

For the weaving operation, you will need only a pair of scissors, stationery knife or blade and a piece of cardboard from a suitably sized box.

I start with the fact that the shirts cut into strips about 5 cm wide. It was cutting right through all of the length, trying to use all the material as much as possible

Since the machine was not, I had to build it out of thick cardboard. It is very important that the board was the most dense. The load on it is great at weaving. It should not bend or crush.

As a communication basis for the need to weave a skein of yarn durable. The best option - a strong kapron thick product, which is so fond of fishermen. Such a framework is not peretrotsya and not fall apart like cotton or some other.

This thread does not break, you need to pull on board, skirting the teeth on the edges. The tension should be very tight, otherwise the mat will unravel

Braided Rugs

Weaving such a product - a very simple, without any special tricks. You just need to remember the basics of chess alternation.

To the mat not disheveled after removal from the cardboard edge, they must be secured by the same thread that you used for the base. Pass the thread into the needle and sew the edge, fastening strips together. You can do this on the sewing machine if you have one
