Making rugs has been a fascination to me for several years. I have a made a couple of types of rugs. The first was a toothbrush rug that went under my daughter’s desk because she is on a concrete floor & her tootsie’s get cold!
The other rug I made is a locker hooking rug. It is beside my bed in a spot where the pad under the carpet was getting thin. I am not sure which I like better. The toothbrush rug costs less as long as you are just using scraps. However I like the ability to design my rug with the locker hooking.
After I found these cool sheets at the Good Will for $4 I decided to start a new rug for the girls room.
Since we have hardwood floors upstairs the floor can be nippy without socks on.
I cut the gathered part of the sheet off. Then the real fun begins!
