I love my bathroom mat...
Do you?
Ok, it's time to stop to be sentimental with old clothes and start to recicle them!
Stand up, open your wardrobe and take all the T-Shirts that, you know, you are not going to where anymore and surely your ex-boyfriend is not going to come and take them back.
You are going to make something for yourself, something you will be proud of and something useful.
I already know that by the time you finish your masterpiece you want to show it to all your guests, including your mother.
I dont want to waste your time anymore, so thanks Eat Sleep Pinterest for the fantastic idea and lets get down to business...
Material:
- T-shirts
- Piece of Cloth
- Scissors
Cut the T-Shirts into strips, 5 inches (10 cm) long and about 1 inch (2.5cm) wide. You will need A LOT of strips!
Take a piece of cloth, a T-Shirt will do but it is better something more thick. Cut it into the shape you would like the rug to be. I did it rectangular.
Start cutting little slits in a line, not more than 0.5 a inch (1cm) long. Leave 1 inch space along the border.
To shove the strips into the slits help yourself with something pointy, I used a crochet needle but scissors or even a screw driver will do it.
Push the strip into the slit and then push the other end of the strip into the next slit. Flip the cloth over and pull the strip tight.
Now, insert the second strip in the same slit where you inserted the previous slit. Push the other end of the second slit into the next slit.
Be patient, go ahead and finish it!
For any question or suggestion you know how to find me.
