What you can do with your own rug: 20 practical ideas
Do-it-yourself rug is a great idea for creative people who love unusual things. They decorate the house and become a highlight of the interior, pleasing to the eyes of the owners and at the same time not requiring much care in order to maintain their attractive appearance for a long time.
It is a good idea to make a rug from bottle caps. They absorb excess moisture, and the ribbed surface massages the legs. Corks are cut in half lengthwise and glued to the base with construction glue. PVA is not recommended for these purposes.
A popular option is to make a rug from plastic plugs. They can lay out any pattern or just connect with each other. Plastic is sewn with a thick needle and thread.
Mats made of pompoms and old towels due to their small absorbent properties, it is better to lay in the toilet or in the living rooms. So that the pompons do not lose their appearance, they are washed and combed from time to time with a large brush.
If a lot of old clothes are gathered at home, use it as material for a new rug. You can bind the fabric with an ordinary pigtail, if it is difficult to come up with a different pattern. To extend the life of such a thing, a strong edging should be sewn along the edge.
Using the patchwork technique from old things, you can sew a soft and original rug for the nursery or bedroom. The color scheme is selected to your taste.
If you have accumulated leftover yarn or littered with twine, put them into action too. The hook will come in handy.
In the future, made mats require the same care as ordinary ones. They should be cleaned of dust, knitted and stitched products must be washed gently with soft powders or gels. Mold can appear on wine corks and plastic, and if possible they are treated with special means. With proper care, these rugs can last more than one year.
