Make a rug out of old things - Easy!

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

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

Rectangular pom-pom rug

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 at home step by step.

The video shows the whole process in more detail:

HEALTHY! If suddenly you didn’t find cardboard at home, then you can wind the yarn directly around four fingers of your hand (we don’t take the 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 carpet of braids woven from T-shirts

First step. Production of knitted threads

Here's how to cut a t-shirt to make a single whole ribbon:

Second step. Braid weaving

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

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

Third step. Machine stitching

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

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

Start stitching where the first turn is.

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

And so in a circle (if oval shape) or along the snake (if rectangular) until the knitted braid ends.

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

Round rug made of twine and waste fabric

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, with the help of a thread and a needle, we 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 flat surface. If you see that it begins to bend, then you can make two columns from one loop. In some places, you can remove fabric strips to level the product.

The craft will last a long time if used nylon tights not 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 tougher. Look at the photo for more details:

Rope or jute rug

The second version of needlework made from these materials is a rectangular door mat 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 for any old one lying around in the pantry. The main thing is that it fits in size.

Patchwork rug and clothesline

1. We 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 turn the rope into a bagel and on one side (wrong side) 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 stitch again. When one shred ends, then put the next one on top of the end of one piece and then wrap it around the rope. If the pieces do not hold well, then you can grab them with a needle and thread.

Rug from old towels

Follow the steps below for a soft and fluffy result:

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

The original design version of the rug made of various materials

Base making:

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

Weaving:

waterproof polyethylene mat

You can watch the tutorial on how to make it in the video:

Stages of work:

1. We fold the bag four to six times so that a thin strip is obtained: at the bottom of the strip is the bottom, at the top are the handles of the bag. We cut off the bottom and handles, cut the remaining strip into pieces of 3-4 cm.
2. We straighten the resulting pieces, rings are obtained.
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 into the other and get a loop, fix the loop on the second ring.
4. We make a ball of polyethylene rings that has turned out several meters and start crocheting.
5. To knit a circular product, start with a ring of 6 loops, then the rows are knitted in single crochet columns, two columns are knitted from each loop in the next row (or at your discretion, the main thing is that the work does not bend).

Experienced craftswomen use everything that comes to hand to create their products. Even those that gather dust in the closet for a long time are used. Of these, you can make, for example, original patchwork rugs. Consider several options that differ from each other in technology.

Varieties of rugs

Before starting work, you need to decide not only on the texture and color of the material, but also on the manufacturing technology. Rugs from shreds of fabric are completely different, but at the same time each of them can be attributed to one of the groups.

1. Wicker. This category includes rugs consisting of braids, as well as those made according to weaving technology.
2. Lush. The volumetric structure is obtained due to the partial fixing of the shreds on the base. At the same time, free ends fill the space and create a 3D effect.
3. Knitted. Patchwork rugs are made using a working tool - a hook. And the threads are replaced by long strips.
4. Sewn. motley patchwork patterns created from original compositions in the form of folded fabric squares into triangles.

Below are descriptions of the proposed manufacturing options. Also given are tips on the design of raw edges of products and some secrets when using technology.

We collect a rug from fabric braids

One of the manufacturing options is the layout of wicker blanks. To do this, cut unnecessary things into strips of the same size (about 9 x 12 cm). Then fold each of the ribbons in half lengthwise, hiding the raw edge inside. For the convenience of weaving, you will need a dense roller or a hard pillow. Fasten the first three ribbons on it and get started. Weave the strips in the form of a pigtail. To the end that ends, sew a new ribbon with hidden stitches. In the same way, increase everything in turn. Patchwork rugs woven in the form of braids can be various shapes. The easiest way to get round. Lay the prepared tape in a spiral on the fabric base, twist it tightly. And then fasten the pigtail on the back side. If you want to make a square or rectangular rug, arrange the workpieces in a straight line. After that, carefully process the cuts with fabric ribbons and decorate with a fringe.

Lush patchwork rugs

very original and simple design is an assembly of small pieces of fabric. This will require pieces measuring 2 x 8 cm. They need to be sewn onto a dense base. For convenience, first draw on it with a bright pencil or ballpoint pen grid. The size of each cell is 2 x 2 cm. Then, with Moment glue, lightly (with one or two drops) glue one piece of fabric on each of the cross-shaped intersections of the lines. This is done for the convenience of further manufacturing on sewing machine. After the blank of the future rug dries a little, fasten the lines with an ordinary seam, directing the free ends of the ribbons to the sides. For greater strength, do this twice. Using this technology, you can create ornaments of various colors by arranging the desired piece of a certain tone according to the scheme. As a basis, try to take the simplest patterns for cross-stitching. Or just stagger the blanks.

How to crochet a patchwork rug?

This is one of the simplest ways to make products. Indeed, certain skills and knowledge are not required at all on how to crochet a patchwork rug. Everything is very easy to do. Cut the fabric into long strips of the same width (3-3.5 cm) and wind into balls. Knit with single crochets. Place the joints of the strips with tight stitches or remove the free ends inside. If the fabric is not too dense, you can move from one strip to another by tying them together. Using the proposed technology, in addition to the traditional colorful knitting in a circle, you can make very elegant rugs with ornaments. Prepare several plain balls of various colors for work. You also need to come up with a color scheme. Then make blanks in the form of small squares. Arrange them, creating an intricate pattern, and sew together. So you can easily get a rug in the form of a flower or a fairy-tale hero.

Fixing patches on a mesh basis

A hook may also be needed for another method of making rugs. In this case, not a dense fabric was taken as the basis, but a mesh fabric. On it, the shreds are fixed by tying or using not quite the usual technology. The photo clearly shows the whole process of work. To do this, you need a special hook with a hole at the back end through which the working thread is passed. Pass the tool through five or six cells, then wind several turns of patchwork tape around it. Gently pull out the hook, and an arc of spirals is formed on the working thread. Repeat the described step, directing the hook-needle into the next mesh cells. Try to tightly fix the formed spiral segments on the base, moving along the perimeter (from the edges to the center) or parallel to one of the sides of the workpiece. With this technology, it is possible to use separately taken cut ribbons without first connecting them to each other.

Products made from rolled fabric squares

When performing this version of the rug, it is not at all necessary to take care of the same structure and thickness of the fabric. The main thing is to cut squares of equal size. Fold the blanks diagonally twice before fixing on the base. The result will be small four-layer triangles. Iron them to secure the shape. After that, lay the workpieces in rows on the fabric base, stitching in turn. Each next one will cover the raw sections. You can lay out ornaments in circles, squares and any other geometric shapes. The finished product looks like "scaly" cloves. Described technology patchwork is one of the varieties of the original type of needlework "patchwork". The combination of several different colors of fabrics in one product allows you to create real masterpieces of art for decorating the interior.

Finishing the edges of products

With many of the technologies described above, patchwork knitted rugs are obtained with open cuts along the entire fabric or part of the perimeter. How to beautifully process and decorate the sides of products? Choose from several options.

1. Fabric ribbon edging. To do this, use strips with a width of at least 5-6 cm. Hiding the edges inward, process the rug, gently edging in a circle.
2. The formation of a fringe from working threads. This option is suitable when the mat is made according to weaving technology, in which two sides do not require additional processing, and the other two consist of “weft” ends. Use them fluffy for pomp, or decorate with extra pieces.
3. Hanging a fringe on the finished edge. In some cases, rugs are outwardly quite finished and do not require additional decoration (patchwork, braiding, crocheting). However, if desired, you can hang additional fringe using ribbon pieces of fabric.

When performing work on the technologies described above, you need to know certain secrets. How to make a patchwork rug beautifully and efficiently? We offer some useful tips to put into practice.

1. When making braids from fabrics of various structures, make several “probes”. This will determine the most optimal strip width for each material so that the finished wicker blank is uniform in thickness. So, for example, ribbons made of thin fabrics should be much wider than thick woolen ones.
2. In the event that the edges tend to be very frayed, it is better to remove them inside. Therefore, when cutting into strips, make the necessary hem allowances.
3. When making the base, use a double layer of fabric. Then the patchwork rugs will better retain their shape when stitching the pieces. The tone of the lower layer, as a rule, coincides in color with the upper one. And the use of similar textures of materials will greatly facilitate the work.

Imagine and create unusual products for decorating the interior!

Previously, the houses of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers were often decorated with unusual patchwork rugs. The technique of such weaving was passed down from generation to generation, while each woman tried to add something of her own to the manufactured products in order to give them individuality. They turned out incredibly beautiful and bright. Any craftswoman can learn this, because today many people try to knit rugs with their own hands from rags, shreds of unnecessary fabric and even yarn. In this article, we will tell you how to make such wonderful decor elements for your home with your own hands.

Features of weaving patchwork rugs

To date, there are several options for weaving such rugs, you can use a hook for this or do without it. But the most important thing is to decide before starting work what size rug you need, what design and color it will have.

Wicker products, consisting of multi-colored braids, are very simple to make:

• they are voluminous due to the partial attachment of fabric shreds to the base;
• loose ends give them a lush look.

Important! Do-it-yourself rug from rags can be made of any shape, and round, and oval, and even rectangular.

Making rugs from patchwork without using a hook

To weave such a rug, you will need:

• threads;
• needle;
• patchwork fabric;
• a large number of pins.

Such products are made by means of a pigtail twisted in the form of a spiral, which is made from three shreds of fabric of different shades.

Important! The rigidity of the product itself directly depends on how tightly the pigtail is woven.

Work features:

• Before weaving, it is necessary to cut the tape of the desired width.
• It is also necessary to resolve the issue, if the flap ends, and the knots will not be imposed, then how to weave. Everything is very simple here, at the ends of the ribbons it is necessary to make small incisions and cut through others to match to form loops. Due to this move, the pigtail will turn out to be the desired length.
• In the center of the weave, you need to carefully and loosely lay the tape in a spiral, while intercepting it in two parts with a thread to reach the desired diameter.

The most popular weaving techniques for rugs without a hook

Do-it-yourself rugs from rags without a hook are weaved using the two most simple techniques, namely:

1. "Spider web". To weave a rug using this technique, you need to connect about 8-12 ribbons in the form of a snowflake. Then fix them on a round cardboard base. You need to start from the center, and in a circle weave the warps of ribbons and stripes between the threads. All elements must be pressed together as tightly as possible. Then you should twist the pigtails to make a rug. It can be fastened along the edge with an original decorative strip.
2. "Chess". This technique involves weaving fabric strips in a checkerboard pattern, and not, as in the previous version, in a circle. For the manufacture of such a rug, dense material is more suitable.

For the first time deciding to weave rugs from rags with your own hands with or without crochet, it is better to familiarize yourself with the recommendations and advice of experienced craftswomen so that you do not have any problems during the work:

• If you are worried that your product will shrink after the first wash, then take appropriate preventive measures. For example, if you make shreds from a new fabric, then you can wash and steam them before starting work so that they immediately sit down, and then you will not have any problems with the finished rug.
• Using pieces of fabric from different things, you need to steam and starch them even before weaving.
• If you plan to actively use the products, then you must first put the flaps on a synthetic winterizer lining.
• To make the elements used the same, it is better to use ready-made cardboard templates for work. In this case, the product is of high quality.
• Do not rush to throw away your old clothes, because you can create an original and beautiful rug with your own hands from it. In any home, it will look stylish and unusual. Moreover, handmade things are very popular today.

How to crochet a patchwork rug?

And now let's take a closer look at how to crochet a rug from shreds of fabric with a hook.

Work materials

You will need:

• piece of fabric;
• special narrow ribbons;
• crochet hook number 10.

Important! Naturally, it is not at all necessary to buy fabric, for sure there are a lot of unnecessary things in your house. You can even cut strips from an old T-shirt or T-shirt. The thinner you choose the fabric, the wider the ribbons should be. And by the way, it is recommended to cut them in a spiral so that they look longer.

Master Class

So let's get started:

1. First stretch the fabric to be cut in different directions. Be sure to pay attention to the specific direction in which the fabric is twisted when stretched.
2. Cut the strips, gather them into balls and distribute them among the colors.
3. Crochet as many air loops so that their number corresponds to the width of the strip. Continue knitting columns and constantly check the number of loops so that they are the same in all rows.
4. Connect the ends of the ribbons with stitches, knit the rug to the desired length.
5. Align it around the perimeter so that it takes on an aesthetic and neat look.
6. When knitting with columns, do not double crochet, but simply add 2-3 light loops at each corner. Due to this, the strips will last much longer and will not curl.

It will turn out a rug quite bright, home-style cozy and warm.

Weaving a simple rug from yarn

In this section, we will learn how to weave a carpet from knitted yarn with your own hands. A pretty nice rug can be made if you make just a few rows of the same color, and then change the shade, and then return to the first one. It all depends on the imagination of the craftswoman and the availability of material of different colors.

A step-by-step instruction for weaving a knitted rug looks like this:

1. To make such a rug, you will need an unnecessary photo frame, or you can make your own frame measuring 30 by 45 cm and stuff it with carnations with small smooth hats on the long sides. In this case, the distance between the nails should not exceed 2.5 cm.
2. The threads need to be pulled in pairs on the carnations. And the base itself can be any color. If you tighten the rows tightly, then it will completely hide behind them.
3. Take the working thread in your hand, slowly pass it first under the warp thread, and then over it.
4. As soon as the first row is over, the thread will need to be passed through the last thread of the warp and directed in the opposite direction. The number of rows can be anything, you need to do it at your discretion.
5. When changing the color of the working thread, it must be cut and tied to the end of the thread of a different shade.
6. From time to time, pull the already woven rows towards the first row so that the weave comes out tight.
7. Hide all seams and knots on the wrong side and remove ready product from the frame.

Multicolored grandmother's heritage in a round shape

As a child, most of you probably had the so-called "grandmother's rugs" in the room. These are multi-colored round rugs for the floor, crocheted from strips of fabric.

In order to knit a "grandmother's" patchwork rug, you will need hook No. 10, fabric trimmings. The flaps need to be cut into strips and sewn (or tied) together, wound into a ball.

We knit in a circle with columns without a crochet. To do this, you need to know the “circle rule” developed by knitters: dial 3 ch. and connect them into a ring. Further into the ring of 3 ch. knit 6 tbsp. b/n. Now divide the circle into 6 wedges and in each row evenly add 6 tbsp. b/n. on a circle. In other words, it should turn out like this: 1 row - 6 tbsp. b / n., 2 row - 12 tbsp. b / n., 3 row - 24 tbsp. b/n. etc.

Knitting pattern round rug crochet looks like this:

If you knit the product according to this scheme, but knit only single crochets behind the back wall of the loop, then the rug will turn out to be more embossed. The photo below shows how to knit st. b/n. behind the back wall of the loop.

Such an accessory can be laid on the floor, and cover a chair or armchair with it.

See the video tutorial for more details on the process.

We create a product from old and unnecessary rags

Here is such an interesting little thing that turns out if you knit it from strips of fabric that are cut out of old clothes. So you kill "two birds with one stone": get rid of unnecessary things and create a practical necessary thing for the home.

To make a crochet rug from rags, first of all, prepare the material for knitting. To do this, go through your wardrobe, sort out the selected unnecessary things at the seams and cut in a spiral into strips 1.5-2 cm wide. We sew the strips together and wind them into balls. A hook for knitting from stripes will need a thick one - No. 10 or more.

Knitting start from 8 vp, which must be closed in a ring. Next, we knit st. b/n. according to the "rule of the circle", the knitting technique of which is described in this article above. Uniform additions are needed so that the circle is flat and not convex, like a hat. If during the knitting process the circle turns out to be wavy, then this problem can be corrected by subsequent steaming and ironing of the product.

Everything is simple and clear. For a couple of evenings, you can easily knit a warm home accessory.

A simple plastic bag rug

An excellent discovery of our housewives was the use of plastic bags for knitting household items. Rugs from packages, crochet, are good because they can be easily washed and dried, they are pleasant to the touch. For the bathroom, toilet and kitchen - this is simply an irreplaceable thing.

The photo above shows a rug made of multi-colored garbage bags. One such copy takes about 40 packages.

Two types of loops are usually used: air loops, columns with 1 crochet. This rug is oval in shape.

Dial the desired number of loops. In this sample, 12 v.p. + 3 v.p. lift = 15 v.p.

1 row. Insert the hook into the 4th loop from the edge of the chain and tie 5 tbsp. s / n. Further in each n. knit 1 tbsp. s / n. 10 times. In the last v.p. knit chains 6 tbsp. s / n. Knitting turn. In the same way, we knit the other side, forming an oval. Close the row with a connecting column.

2 row and all subsequent rows knit according to the scheme. Thus, the middle of the canvas will remain straight, and the edges will expand and round off, thanks to the additions in the semicircles. Thus, an oval canvas is obtained.

Knitting pattern for an oval rug from garbage bags:

When the mesh is tied, start knitting the outer part of the product. It is recommended to start knitting from the middle of the fabric, then the pattern will be even and the “waves” will go in one direction. Each side of the cage should be tied with st. s / n. They can be from 1 to 3 on each side. The thinner your thread, the more stitches you need to knit.

Thus, focusing on the diagram-drawing, you tie all the "cells" of the fillet net.

This is what the back side of the piece should look like.

Such products have an attractive appearance, and due to their structure they look very elegant and rich.

We offer a simple lesson on creating a rectangular rug:

• To work, you need a special yarn. To prepare it, you can use old sheets, shirts, any old textiles. If several things are used for the blank, it is desirable that they be of the same texture.
• We cut the material into long strips 1-1.5 cm wide, tie the ribbons together and wind them into a ball.

Advice! To make the rug turn out to be multi-colored, you can alternate the colors of the ribbons.

• It is more convenient to knit rugs with thicker crochet. We first collect a chain of air loops, in the first row we knit single crochets. Having reached the end of the row, we collect one air loop, turn the work inside out and continue to knit. Flipping with front side on the wrong side, and then back, we knit the track of the desired length.

Beginners will like this way of making. Knitting requires basic skills, no special patterns are needed. Despite the very primitive way of knitting, the result will certainly please and surprise. Stylish, bright and practical carpet at no cost will be a decoration for the corridor.

Openwork rug

Round openwork rug will be an elegant interior addition to the living room or bedroom. The main component is yarn: just cut the old knitted t-shirts into strips, stretch each in length, tie together and wind into a ball. You need to tie the ribbons carefully, large knots will violate the aesthetics of the openwork pattern. There is a simple way to connect the ribbons: make slits at the ends, fold them so that they match. Then we pull the other end of the upper strip from below through the aligned slots. The result is an inconspicuous and neat knot.

Let's start knitting:

• For knitting, you need a hook No. 15. We start the process with the "magic ring" - amigurumi. Wrap the yarn around the index finger on the left hand three times, remove it. We will pass the hook into the resulting ring, stretching the end of the working thread. We again stretch the yarn into the loop, forming a sliding loop on the ring.
• The resulting loop must be tied with eleven double crochets. After we knit the connecting element, closing the ring.
• Let's move on to the second row. We knit two double crochets in each lower loop, in total there should be 24 of them.
• We knit the third row by analogy with the second, as a result, we already get 36 double crochets. So knitting gradually expands, forming an even circle.
• In the fourth row we knit a simple openwork pattern. The scheme is as follows: at the beginning of the row, one double crochet, then two air loops, then we let one lower column and knit one double crochet.
• In the fifth row we knit all the columns with a crochet. To make the rug expand evenly, add two double crochets to every fourth column at the bottom.
• Next, add a thread of a different color, the knitting principle is the same. At the end, we fix the work so that the thread does not unwind. A beautiful openwork rug is ready.

A chain of air loops is dialed. The size of the product itself depends on its length. To calculate correctly, just subtract the width of the carpet from its length. Keep in mind that the chain will stretch a little, this must be taken into account when calculating the size. Beginners are better off using visual diagram to make it easier and clearer to work.
