My first attempt at making a Rug!

So this was a fun project. I used an old curtain that I no longer wanted and now it is a useful kitchen rug! and it didn't cost me a penny to make.



I made the loom myself with wood that was left by the dumpster by my apartment.

TA-DA!

  1. I love the rug. My grandmother use to make those out of old jeans she would pick up at second hand stores. It's beautiful and such and awesome idea. Did you use just nails to hold the black strings in place so they were taught enough to weave through? I also love the DIY tour through your apt it's awesome. I love also the new layout of your blog its awesome. How did you get the pictures to be so big??

  2. Thanks I can't wait to make more! Yes I just used nails and some yarn. Thanks so much for the compliments. The picture upload on the blog tools has changed recently and it now has an X-large size option.
