Get to work

So, to make a rug from old towels with your own hands you will need:

• a little patience and perseverance;
• minimum sewing skills;
• three bath or beach towels.

Stock up also:

• ruler;
• scissors;
• threads in color;
• a needle.

It is desirable to have a sewing machine, but, if desired, you can sew the product manually.

Important! When cutting towels, many villi are formed. Therefore, it is advisable to cover the floor with oilcloth or newspapers.

Create a unique rug in half an hour

The original towel mat can be placed not only in the bathroom, but also in the nursery or bedroom. Or maybe your pets will like it? In general, as they say, “it's worth it.” Practically without spending a dime, you will make a beautiful, almost designer, thing.

The procedure is as follows:

• Cut strips of about 30 mm wide from the towels.

Important! The type of future product depends on what kind of “raw material” you use. It can be multi-colored or monophonic. Experiments with fabric textures are welcome.

• Take 3 multi-colored strips, sew them together at the base.
• Start braiding.
• As the stripes end, file new pieces of fabric and continue to weave.

Important! To make the pigtail neat, use pins when weaving, and every 100-150 mm fasten the weaving with threads on the opposite side.

• The result was a fairly long “braid”.
• Fold the tourniquet “snail”, firmly stitching circles together.
