How do I make a braided rug?

My grandmother used to make braided rugs from scraps of material.

Make strips of the scraps. Roll so the raw edges are not exposed. Braid the strips attaching new strips when one gets too short. Sew the strips into a circle or oval using button and carpet thread along the way. The biggest challenge, I think, is keeping it flat. Laying it out on the floor occasionally to check that it's flat before stitching rows together really helps.
