Diy Recycled Tshirt Rug

Once the glue dries run your hand over the top of the rug to remove any loose pieces.

Diy recycled tshirt rug.

Making a little something out of almost nothing written by sisters linda and stella allison and published in 1979. I have a fun book called rags. Place a strip of hot glue 1 inch from the previous row. Rugs from recycled t shirts.

Stick the knots into the glue strip leaving 1 2 inch between each knot image 2. Continue in this manner until you have sewn t shirt strips on all of the lines you marked. Continue to glue knotted t shirt sections all the way up the edge of the mat. This is what your rug should look like now.

I ended up with 25 rows of t shirt strips. I have a fun book called rags. One method is to cut the t shirt into strips and tie them to a longer strip that has been made into a base cord. Move onto the next row.

Simply hot glue the strips in place directly on the top of the rug pad bunching the strips together on top of the glue. Refashion your old unwanted t shirts into new shag rugs for your floor by cutting them into pieces and using them as rug yarn. The total time it took me to cut the t shirt strips was probably about 1 hour. Place a piece of cardboard under the rug because the hot glue will seep through the holes and make a mess.

If you re making your own t shirt yarn cut off the top of the t shirt directly underneath the arms and cut off the hem. Keep gluing t shirt sections in one straight line along an edge of the mat image 1.
