DIY AREA RUG
3 Materials
View materials (3)
I LOVE the 99 Cent store, don’t you? I find myself roaming the aisles and
getting lost in thought as I figure out ways to use the constantly rotating
inventory. I do not strike gold every time, but when I do…man! I feel like a
thrift warrior with crafty ways!!
This little project had me bowing to an imaginary standing ovation. LOL
Seriously, I just kinda dug finding something to get crafty with that would
solve a need in my home
Creating a basic slip knot, I attached the yarn to my crochet hook. I do not
think hook size is crazy important, just avoid huge hooks. A “G” size is
perfect.
Now, instead of doing the usual crochet thing of creating a chain, jab the hook
through your rugs. I lined up the edges of to rugs, and inserted through both
edges. You will do a basic stitch by wrapping the yarn around the hook and
pulling it through…and then wrapping it one more time to pull it through the
remaining loops on the hook. You should wind up with only one loop on your hook.
Since my rug seam was kinda thick, I made sure to create one chain in-between
stabbing through the rugs and doing a basic stitch.
So…..sc, ch 1, sc, ch1, sc, ch1…and so on!
I love the texture of the seam! It goes so well with the rag weave and fringe.
I used four rugs for this rug, but the sky is the limit. I used six rugs to
create a large area rug for Evangeline’s room.
It is kind of nice knowing that you can make an affordable rug without having to
spend hours crafting it from scratch. Ain’t nobody got time for that! Get
thrifty this weekend!

What kind of thread/yarn was used to sew them together? Was it heavy thread
or just plain yarn?

What did you put under the rug to keep it from sliding around on that slick
floor when you step or walk on it?

It seems to me that you would be tripping constantly with the seam sticking
up like that, no?

I made parade saddle blankets from these rugs in the 1980s! Ended up using
them all the time!
