The second life of old things - a recurring theme. Reusing materials not only save you money, but also allows you to save nature. And it's literally everything: plastic, wood, and even textiles. The idea of ​​using old things for weaving or knitting rugs known for a long time, but usually it requires a machine for weaving or the ability to crochet and knitting. channel Authors "All hands" We proposed a variant in which only need to be able to weave braids. Master class of one of the authors of the channel, we offer you.

Good day to all who love to do something with their own hands! I've got a weakness: I have a hard part with old things. Folding their piles and all the time trying to figure out how to use them again, alter or transform. But in this time I have accumulated a stack of towels. One could, of course, cut them into rags for the kitchen, but I came here with the idea of turn them into a rug bathroom. And I am ready to share with you on this process.

preparation of material

To create a rug I would need just a good pair of scissors, a needle and thread with a few towels.

I took three towels of different colors. It does not matter if you do not find the three colors, and is only one or two. And they do not necessarily have to be terry. For such a work can be used any material

Towel I cut into strips along the longest side. The width of the strips - about 4 cm. If you make more - get thicker mat and vice versa. But too narrow should not do the band, they will be torn

An important point - the overall length of each of the color bands should be identical. That is, if you cut blue 6m, the red and green, too, should be 6.

Weaving

When the preparations are completed, you can proceed directly to the weaving. Do not be afraid of the word, because you have to just weave the braid and is able to practically everything. And if they do not know how, then this uncomplicated art one can learn in just a few minutes

Terry cloth slightly fray. To pile ugly edge of not sticking out of your carpet, you need to wrap the cut edges inside each band, to get the tube.

In the first stage can be used for this purpose pins. Wrap the edges of the strip inward and fold it in half, and then attach the pin. Later, when you learn the process to bend it will be possible in the course of weaving hands, without using pins

When the length of the first strips of the whole thing of the weave, they need to build. To do this, again, cut the hard edge, and sew the ends of the strips. And to spit rasplelas not until you do it, seal it with the end of pin weaving

So, constantly increasing bandwidth, we need to continue weaving until enough material. Once done, fix the thread end of the spit.

final assembly

What is the length of your spit will depend on the amount of material used. And the longer it is, the more you'll get rug.

Collect mat a must on a flat surface. Tighten braid spiral, trying to locate it exactly to the wiring does not twist. If the flat side of the braid will roll out - get a thin mat, if the rib - thick, but the material will require almost twice as much

Yes, we must admit that it is not easy to erase. But I have adapted: I fill it in a bag for delicates and machine washable. By the same principle, only this time from old jeans, I wove a rug in the hallway.

Thank you Catherine for detailed pictures and a master class! Indeed, weave a mat is very simple. For this work does not require any special skills other than the ability to weave braids. Such a product can be given not only round, but also any other form. And as a material, you can use anything. For example, in this video, the author even used holey socks:
