So, what are the possible ways to make a rug with your own hands?

How to knit a rug?

For needlewomen who are familiar with crocheting at least at an initial level, they can create their own unique rug from threads.

Today on the Internet there are many schemes and even master classes on how to knit a rug from yarn. You can use diagrams from craft magazines for potholders or napkins found at home. And experienced craftswomen can easily create their own pattern. Using the thickest yarn and the largest crochet or knitting needle will give you the size you want.

If you use yarn of the same color or several similar shades, you get very elegant rugs that are in harmony with the decor elements of the room. You can choose a color for the wallpaper or.

Try combining bright, multi-colored threads for a mandala-style rug. This is a great way to build on leftover skeins. The shape can be either round or square. A rug knitted from the remains of yarn in the shape of a spiral will be mesmerizing.

What to knit a rug from?

If you look around carefully, there are most often enough materials for knitting a rug in any home. A thick yarn is best for a soft rug. If this is not found, you can first knit a cord based on air loops from threads, and already use it to knit a rug. If you need a hard rug, even a clothesline will do.

In addition to ordinary yarn, you can knit a rug from old knitwear by cutting them into long ribbons. Simple fabric scraps cut into strips will do.

A good moisture-resistant rug can be knitted from bags, also by cutting them into ribbons. Such a rug will perfectly decorate a bath or a veranda in the country.

How to sew a rug?

For craftsmen who are excellent at using thread and a needle or a sewing machine, creating a carpet is a trifling matter. Let's consider the options.

Skillfully combining unnecessary pieces of fabric, you can get an excellent rug using the patchwork technique. In this way, interesting children's rugs are obtained for developing activities with a baby. Making a rug out of old jeans is a great idea for a youth room. A denim rug will be both stylish and durable.

Soft rugs, connected from many small padded pillows, look cozy. The stuffing can be either soft or loose - you get a massage mat.

A shaggy rug can be made by sewing narrow strips of fabric row by row onto the base.

How to weave a rug?

Weaving from a cord or rope also allows you to create original rugs with your own hands. Excellent floor decor is obtained using the macrame technique.

An original and very simple way - braid rugs. To do this, a rather thick braid is woven from unnecessary rags or rags, and after that it is gradually curled up in a spiral and sewn with threads.

Likewise, you can make a real woolen rug from old blankets cut into strips. And if you show your imagination, then the pattern can be made very bizarre.

By the way, you can weave a rug in the same way as a spider weaves its web. Taking a gymnastic hoop (hula hoop) instead of a hoop, first pull the radial warp threads on it, and then weave it from the center in a circle.

How to make a pom-pom rug?

Soft and fluffy, they create coziness and warmth. Pom-poms are easily made from colored yarn: just wind the required amount of thread on your palm or, for example, a plastic card, tie the removed bundle of threads in the middle and cut the loops - the pom-pom is ready!

Then the pompons are sewn on or tied to any mesh base. You can fasten them in any combination, alternate the colors or sizes of pompons, create beautiful drawings or volumetric animals.

Mat made of plastic bottle caps

Cork flooring looks quite unusual and extravagant. They are laid out like a mosaic, and then they are fastened with glue or sewn with a fishing line using an awl or a thick needle. You need to pierce the covers in the places where they meet in accordance with the selected pattern (if you heat the awl on fire, it will be easier to pierce the covers).

Such a rug can be used in the bathroom as a massage mat or put it in front of the front door. Moreover, you can use both one and the other side.

Pebble rug for bathroom

You can make a good stylish bathroom rug yourself from sea or river pebbles. Glue the sea stones with super glue on a solid base - and the original massage mat is ready.

Well, if you can't find stones for the rug, wine corks will make a wonderful rug - for convenience, just cut them in half.

There are many ways to make a rug with your own hands. Take a look around - you may come up with some more super ideas. The main thing is to approach the creative process in a good mood, and then the result will exceed all expectations! And if that - there is always the opportunity to buy an excellent ready-made rug in our online store.

If you want to create a rug from pom-poms, scraps of fabric, stones or garbage bags, then you've come to the right place. A developing mat for a child, looking at the photos and description, is also easy to make.

We make pom-poms with our own hands, we turn them into a designer thing

Delicate, pleasant to the touch, you will get a rug made of pompons, created with your own hands.

Here is a list of what you need to get started:

• yarn (for a thing of this size you need 10 skeins);
• carpet mesh or construction;
• scissors;
• ruler.

Cut a piece of the plastic mesh to the desired size. This pom-pom rug was made on a square base with sides of 1 meter.

Rugs in the form of animals turn out to be funny and interesting. To do this, you can cut out a mesh in the shape of a lying animal - with a body, head, tail, four legs, cut out a rectangle, decorate it with pom-poms, and knit the rest of the body.

Yarn pom-poms are made in several ways. For example, for decoration, hats are made on two cardboard molds, cut in the form of identical wide rings. Then the pom-poms are round. For our rug, they don't have to be very bulky, so here's how to make a yarn pompom in this case.

We wind the thread on 4 fingers folded together in several rows. We remove the resulting blank from the hand, wrap it with the free end of the thread in the middle, tie it in a knot. We cut the threads on the right and left to make a kind of bow, and pull a little on the free thread - the "tail", which is in the middle, so that the workpiece takes on a rounded shape. We do not cut the "tail", it will still be useful to us.

How such pom-poms are made, a photo of phased work demonstrates clearly.

Create several blanks with threads of different colors. Here's what you get.

Starting from the corner, we tie our pom-poms to the base. To do this, you need to insert a thread between the cells and tie it on a knot from the inside out. To secure the pompom more securely, you can pull the thread several times through adjacent cells.

To achieve the now fashionable ombre effect, use the yarn of the presented shades. Then tie the dark blue pom-poms first and gradually lighter ones.

After you attach all of them, you will have such a beautiful rug made of pompons.

You can put it by the bed or hang it on the wall.

Patch rug

If you don't have yarn or want to create a free item, then consider a more budget option. For it, you can use scraps of fabric, old clothes. Then you will have a similar patchwork rug.

For him you will need:

• rags (cloth, old cloth clothes);
• scissors;
• hook.

First of all, rip the old thing apart at the seams if you decide to make a do-it-yourself rug out of it. Lay the first piece in front of you and, starting from the corner, cut it out in a strip 1-2 cm wide. This size depends on how thick you want the new piece to be.

Try to make the strip longer. Then there will be fewer knots on the patchwork mat. Roll the resulting cord into a ball immediately so that the thread does not get tangled.

You can use several colors of fabric, but roll up in different balls.

During work, when you need to tie the threads, bend the edge of one in the form of a loop, put the end of the second inside and tie the first with a knot.

Knitting is carried out with a large crochet. First, make a loop at the end of the thread, insert the hook into it, grab the adjacent section of the thread with the crochet and pull it through the loop. In this way, knit several loops. Fold the resulting chain into a ring. Thread the hook into the first loop and start knitting the second row. So, in a circle, knit the entire patchwork rug.

After finishing work, mentally praise yourself for being such a needlewoman, although all people who come to the house will celebrate this.

If you want a butterfly like this on the floor, then start knitting the carpet from the center of one wing, creating an oval shape. In this case, it is crimson. Then trim with blue cloth. When knitting the edges of the wings, make them concave on one side, as shown in the photo. In this case, a tape cut from yellow linen was used for this.

Do the second wing in the same way. Then, from a black ribbon, tie the body and antennae of the butterfly. Sew it with the wings of the insect.

From scraps of fabric, rags, you can make another carpet. It is fluffy and looks voluminous.

Second life of old things

Even well-worn things are suitable for such a product. From places untouched by time, you will need to cut small fabric ribbons. Such a rug made of patches, made with your own hands, turns out to be very effective. It will be pleasant for the legs to drown in the pile of fabric.

To make this thing, you need:

• fabric or things (it is better to use jersey);
• mesh base;
• hook;
• scissors.

Cut the canvas into strips of 20 x 2.5 cm. If you wish, you can dye them with fabric paint. But it must be of high quality so that when walking on the finished product, paint is not imprinted on the feet and soles of the slippers.

Glue the edges of the net with masking tape on both sides around the perimeter.

To create such a rug, use a special carpet hook. If you have not found one on sale, then you can take a regular knitting one.

Attach the flaps as follows:

1. Pass the hook into the mesh of the mesh, take out its folded part through the adjacent hole.
2. Hook up the center of the half-folded tape.
3. In the resulting loop of the tape, pass it both ends with a crochet or hands.
4. Tighten the piece of fabric well.

Start weaving the stripes from the corner of the carpet, horizontally. So do all the work. From the inside out, the rug should turn out to be so even, without knots.

And on the front side - fluffy and voluminous.

How to weave a rope rug

Such an openwork product can be created even without a hook. This carpet is knitted by hands from a clothesline.

You can simply knit it in a circle, as described in the second example, or create a pattern. In the latter case, you will need a napkin knitting pattern. Here's how to crochet a rug.

But such a rug can be made from a cord. For this, several blanks of different sizes are made. The cord is twisted in a spiral, and its fragments are glued. Then the workpieces are fastened together with glue.

If you want to learn more about this process, read How to make a cord rug. For such a product you will need:

• felt for the base;
• glue;
• construction knife or scissors;
• rope or thick twine.

Cut a circle out of felt, overcast it. If you have a thinner fabric, such as flannel, then fold it in half and zigzag it.

We begin to twist the rope to make a rug from a cord. First, we twist so as to create the central part of the product. We coat the coils with glue and apply them close to each other. Use a piece of fabric on the cord from time to time to know when to finish the job.

Then cut off the excess rope and glue its tip so that the turns do not unwind. After that, apply glue in the form of "rays" to the inside of the rope circle, attach a fabric blank here and press with your palms.

After the glue is dry, the rope mat can be used as directed.

But what kind of product can be made from an ordinary clothesline, forming round fragments from it, and others in the form of trefoils.

Knitting from threads with patterns

If you have never done this kind of work, patterns will help to crochet a rug for beginners. If you want to create a round product, then pay attention to this hint.

Start knitting from the center. Crochet a chain of three loops, then connect them in a ring and knit the next (first) row, which will consist of 5 loops. Pay attention, in each subsequent row - more loops (+1). Due to this, the rug increases towards the edges. The diagram shows that the addition is in each of the five sectors on the right. This is how a round rug crochets.

If you want it to be pentagonal, take a look at the following finished product and its diagram.

First, 5 loops are created, they are closed in a ring. Then it runs:

• First row: 3 air loops (vp) lifting, 2 columns with a crochet over the first air loop of the previous row, 2 vp, * 3 columns with a crochet, 2 ch. Next, knit from * to * 5 times to form a pentagon.
• Second row: 3 lift air loops, 2 s / n columns. over the first vp previous row, 2 vp, 3 columns s / n., 1 vp Then continue knitting according to the pattern shown in the photo above.

Then a 5-gon is knitted in circular rows, after which each "ray" is tied separately.

Patterns for rugs can be different. If you want to create an oval product, then use the following.

Step-by-step photographs of the work will help you to knit such a necessary thing with your own hands.

Rug from packages

And here's another way to create original things.

A large number of plastic bags often accumulate at home. Beautiful products are also made from this waste material. For this we only need:

• packages;
• hook;
• scissors.

Take the packages. Spread the first one and fold it several times as shown in the photo. Cut off the handles from it and cut into strips.

Then expand them. You will end up with cellophane rings that need to be tied together. To do this, we put the loop of one on the edge of the other, push in and tighten.

Now you need to wind the resulting threads into a ball, and you can start knitting the rug from the bags.

We put the hook into the ring-shaped end of the thread and make the first loop.

Next, we knit a column of 5 loops, bend it in the form of a ring. We put the hook through the wall of the nearest loop, put the thread on it, pull it first through the first loop, then put the thread on the hook again and pull it through the second loop. Thus, we knit further in a circle.

Now we gradually add loops, if this is not done, you will get a knitted hat. Although it can also be made from plastic bags, but another time.

The additions must be uniform. To do this, visually divide the knitting into 5 parts and at the end of each 5th part from the last loop, knit two, not one new loop.

DIY do-it-yourself rug

If you want your child to know the names of vegetables and fruits from infancy, then do this useful thing for him. Use a soft, dense cloth. Then the baby will be comfortable on such a rug not only to play, but also to crawl.

In order to sew a do-it-yourself development rug, you need:

• a large piece of felt and several small pieces of other colors;
• scissors;
• fringe;
• threads;
• Velcro.

Cut out the base from the dark fabric, in this example it is made of black felt. To prevent the fabric from frizzing, overcast its edges on a typewriter or on your hands with a needle and thread. Sew on the fringe if desired.

Cut out pieces of different colors corresponding to a particular fruit or vegetable. Sew on the back of the Velcro and place the appliqué on the rug. Then the baby will be able to tear off the fabric fruits and vegetables and attach them to another place on the rug.

You can sew any other developmental rug for children with your own hands. Below are some examples.

It is very important to remember that small objects are sewn tightly and securely so that the baby cannot tear them off, and the craving for knowing the child does not turn into a tragedy.

This applies, for example, to attaching buttons to the fly agaric. They are needed so that the child develops fine motor skills by touching and twisting these objects.

Such a product can accommodate a whole city or part of a village. Then the child will get acquainted with many objects surrounding him, he will learn how trees look, what a rainbow is, how it rains. It can be imitated using ropes sewn to a fabric cloud.

Today you learned how to sew, knit, weave a rug from various materials. But this topic is very multifaceted, even stones, centimeter tapes, corks are used to create such things. So choose which product you like best, get down to exciting creativity, and photo and video materials will help you. Good luck in your pleasant and interesting work!

4. Pants and jeans are cut in the same way.

There are two ways in which you can join rag shreds together.

Method 1... Sew both parts on a sewing machine. The seam is not too tight, and it is almost impossible to notice it on the finished rug.

Method 2... Make small holes in both strips and then thread them into each other.

Weaving pigtails

1. Secure the beginning of the braid with threads.
2. For convenience, you can pin the beginning of the weaving to a heavy sofa cushion. This will make it easier to keep the fabric in good tension and the weave will be even.
3. Start to weave a regular three-strand braid. You can include up to five ribbons in a pigtail. In this case, you will get a more interesting pattern.
4. When the braid is finished, sew the next one with an invisible stitch to it.
5. If you want to weave not a round, but a square or rectangular rug, then you need to weave many braids of the same length.

So that the finished product is not excessively colorful, you can look at the color combination table. With its help, you can choose the most successful color options for both individual braids and for the entire composition.

Sew the canvas

Round rug

1. Roll the resulting braid in a spiral. If you are right-handed, place the braid counterclockwise. If left-handed, then, accordingly, clockwise.

There is a chance that a small bubble will grow in the center, but over time it smoothes out.

In this way, you can sew a rug of almost any shape.

Square rug

In this case, you will need a fabric base to which you will sew the resulting braids.

1. Fold the fabric in half and sew along the seams.
2. Turn the fabric right out and sew the remaining seam.
3. Sew the braids to the base one by one. This can be done by hand or on a sewing machine.
4. After stepping back a few centimeters from the edge, secure the ends and cut off excess pieces of fabric using a ruler.

If desired, you can process the edges, make a fringe or decorate the rug with other decorative elements.

Making a rug from old things - Easy!

Do you think colorful, soft, original, practically free rugs are a myth? Look around! Do you have threads, cord, rope, unwanted knitwear or old T-shirts at home? Then let's make the house even cozier with our own hands, and at the same time protect our planet from unnecessary garbage!

This article contains original ideas for needlewomen for home comfort. Do-it-yourself carpets will be the envy and admiration of neighbors and friends.

Rectangular pom-pom rug

Do you want to have a soft rug at home on which it is pleasant to lie in front of the TV or play with your child? Then look at home for leftover threads. If the hostess is fond of knitting, then usually there are always small skeins that are a pity to throw away, and they are stored for years in some box.

In addition, you need to find scissors, cardboard and a mesh base (plastic can be purchased at a hardware store). We will now tell you how to create a shaggy bedside rug step by step at home.

The video shows the whole process in more detail:

HEALTHY! If suddenly you did not find cardboard at home, then you can wind the yarn directly on four fingers of your hand (do not take your thumb), and the central thread will be tied between the middle and ring fingers.

If you decide to decorate the rug with small pompoms, then you will definitely find a table fork for winding the material. All four cloves are wrapped, and a long thread is tied between 2 and 3 cloves.

Oval rug of braids woven from T-shirts

A nice, homemade rug from old things for legs in the bathroom or bedroom will turn out from old T-shirts (an old T-shirt will do as well). Cotton is an environmentally friendly and soft material. Just three steps and the masterpiece is ready! You will need to select about 13 T-shirts. Take plain or colored T-shirts - it depends on your taste and interior.

First step. Making knitted threads

We have placed the production of knitted stripes with illustrations and a detailed description in the photo.

Here's how to cut the T-shirt to make a single, whole ribbon:

Second step. Weaving braids

From the resulting glomeruli, take three and begin to weave a braid. When the strip ends, we braid the next strip and so on until the fabric ends. If the colors are different, then try to alternate them when weaving.

When working, it is convenient to braid the braid, holding it between the knees, and so that the braid is tight and does not bloom, use a clothespin when moving to the next piece of braiding.

As a result, you will get a long multi-colored braid. Bend the ends and sew with a strong thread.

Third step. Stitching on a typewriter

Take a sewing machine and a knit needle and zigzag over the stitch. Next, select the shape of the product: an oval or a rectangle (you get a track).

In an oval rug, you need to decide on the length of the center, the longer the center is, the longer the rug. The smaller, the wider the oval will be.

We take the end, measure the length, do the right turn - clockwise. We apply further the second row of pigtails.

Start stitching where the first turn is.

We pass between two braids in a zigzag. We reach the place where the braid starts and gently bend it under the next layer and turn again.

And so on in a circle (if an oval shape) or along a snake (if a rectangular shape), until the knit braid ends.

HEALTHY! The product can slide, so you can sew or glue it to a non-slip base for safety, which can be found at the IKEA store called STOPP FILT.

Round rug made of twine and waste fabric

Where can the fabric scraps be used? In no case do not throw it away, because if you have a lot of free time, using this method you can make a small cup holder or a large interesting carpet on the floor with your own hands.

For this work, you will need a lot of unnecessary scraps of rags, twine (jute rope or twine), a hook, a needle and thread.

Step-by-step instructions for work:

When the first skein of fabric ends, use a thread and a needle to sew the end from the next skein. Or we twist the end and the beginning together, then you can not use the needle.

HEALTHY! It is better to make a rug on a flat surface. If you see that it begins to bend, then you can make two columns from one loop. In some places, the fabric strips can be removed to flatten the garment.

The craft will last a long time if used nylon tights rather than fabric.

Instead of scraps of fabric, you can also use a clothesline, instead of twine, strong threads. As a result, the rug will be harder and harder. For more details, see the photo:

Rope or jute rug

To create this masterpiece from scrap materials to decorate a room in a nautical or Scandinavian style, choose a rope. You will also need a sharp knife, silicone glue, and a thick fabric for the base. Making this craft yourself is quite simple, here is the description:


Everything ingenious - simple and fast!

The second handicraft option made from these materials is a rectangular entrance rug for the hallway. Let's describe its creation step by step.

To make it, you will have to buy the cheapest rug in the store, or look in the house if there is any old one lying around in the closet. The main thing is that it fits in size.

Rug of scraps and clothesline

Sometimes thin scraps remain from needlework and the housewives throw them away, believing that they are useless for anything. But if you add to them a clothesline and a thread with a needle, you get a nice handmade floor rug. What do I need to do:

1. Take a clothesline and a piece of fabric. We begin to wrap the rope tightly in a spiral.
2. When the length of the wrapped rope is enough to form two rows, we fold the rope into the steering wheel and on one side (purl), we begin to sew the rows of the rug together. One stitch in the first row, the second stitch in the second row and pull them together by pulling the thread.
3. We make the next circle and sew again. When one piece ends, then at the end of one piece we put the next one on top and then wrap it around the rope. If the pieces do not hold well, then you can grab them with a needle and thread.

This is how you can give a second life to thin scraps of unnecessary rags.

Old towel rug

Old terry towels on the farm are often used as rags, but needlewomen can also create a chic bathroom rug from them, without having to sew anything.

Follow these instructions for a soft and fluffy result:

1. Find the terry towels you are going to get rid of.
2. Cut them into strips about 2 cm thick and 12 cm long.
3. Purchase the desired size plastic net from a hardware store.
4. We tie the cut rags to the mesh, fixing with a double knot.
5. When the cells are large, you can tie two strips to one partition.
6. By alternating colors, you can get a pattern on the rug.

The original design version of the rug made of various materials

The advantage of the next product is that you can use any materials for its manufacture: threads of different colors, ropes, pompons, braid, strips from old clothes (denim strips look good), yarn, grass, etc.

Making the base:

ATTENTION! All the warp threads should be on one (front) side of the cardboard, on the back there will be only loops between the cuts along the edges.

Weaving:

Polyethylene waterproof mat

A good summer cottage option for the street. Such crafts can be made from plastic bags accumulated at home. After all, a real hostess always has a bag with packages at home. Products from garbage bags are softer, especially since now you can find almost all colors in stores: purple, yellow, black, red, blue, green, etc. You can make rainbow versions or with a gradient. You open the door, and there is a rainbow at your feet.

A lesson on making can be seen in the video clip:

Stages of work:

1. We fold the bag four to six times so that we get a thin strip: the bottom of the strip is the bottom, and the top is the bag handles. Cut off the bottom and handles, cut the remaining strip into 3-4 cm pieces.
2. We straighten the resulting pieces, we get rings.
3. We tie the rings together with a loop. We take two rings. We thread the first inside the second ring, then straighten the ends of the first ring and pull one end to the other and a loop is obtained, we fix the loop on the second ring.
4. We make a ball of the resulting several meters of tape of polyethylene rings and begin to crochet.
5. To knit a circular product, start with a ring of 6 loops, then the rows are knitted in columns without a crochet, two columns in the next row are knitted from each loop (or at your discretion, the main thing is that the work does not bend).
