    I've done that. Here I made one from different yarns for texture. Here I made one from cotton materials.

    Hello Evonne,

    If none of the ideas above were what you were looking for, then you may want to up Rag Rug Making. You Draw your pattern onto the canvas, then buy a Rug making tool. Cut your fabric into oblongs 1.5" wide or so and about 5" long. Using the Rug making tool thread the fabric into the Canvas/Sacking and slip the two ends through the loop, and pull away to form a secure tuft! Proceed in this manner using your fabric colours to form your rug design. The Rug will soon appear before your eyes. It helps to attach each end of Canvas/sacking to a suitable length of timber and unwind it as you go along. Better still if you can make a frame to hold the canvas taught...........Have fun.
