Have you ever wanted to make your own durable, cozy and handmade rug? Here is an idea by a friend of mine who is handy with the needle. This rug is made from scrap fabric and you can use everything from faded t-shirts, old out-of-style clothing to curtains, linens, tops, ribbons and others.
Items you will need:
Fabric Scraps;
Squared paper;
Pencil;
Permanent marker pens in multiple colours;
Hessian (15 cm larger than your desired rug size);
Sharp Scissors;
Tape measure or ruler;
A Large needle;
Thick cotton cord;
A small latch hook;

    I wonder about using fleece...wouldn't that make a sofffffft rug!

    I think Fleece would be soft, but wonder how it would hold up? If you try it, let us know. I have crocheted rugs, but was wondering if there was another option.
