DIY rug made from shreds

Patchwork

You will need thick fabric and a lining of foam rubber and batting. The material is cut into strips or squares. All elements must be laid out on the lining. They are placed horizontally or vertically; you can create a complex pattern or attach parts in a chaotic manner.

Sew them on using a sewing machine or by hand. A handmade rug made from scraps of fabric will decorate your home.

Hand-made products have been especially popular lately. They allow you to create a masterpiece for your own home.

Step-by-step instructions for various techniques

In order to create a beautiful rug that you won’t be ashamed to show to guests, you need to accurately follow the instructions corresponding to each of the implementation methods.

Soft volumetric rug

To make a product that is perfect for a children's room, you must first prepare the following materials and tools:

Small scraps cut from outdated clothing.
Scissors.
Special rubber mat with ordered holes.
A hook or small tweezers.

Step-by-step production:

The prepared fabric is cut into strips of equal width and short length.
Using a hook (tweezers), the strips must be inserted into the holes.
Tie them in a simple single knot.
Using the same scheme, close all existing holes with fabric strips.

Everything is very simple and fast!

"Granny's rug"

This option is more popular than others. It can be found in many village houses. But many people want to give city apartments a little zest and real comfort. This product can be made without the help of your grandmother. To do this you will need:

Crochet hook in volume from 7 to 10 mm.
Scissors.
Waste fabric in various colors.

Manufacturing:

The fabric is cut into thin strips. In this case, efforts are not necessary, since evenness does not play a special role. Thanks to some unevenness in the cuts, the rug will acquire a peculiar volume.
The strips are tied alternately into one continuous rope. The sequence of colors depends on the idea of the future product. Tying is done using a regular double knot, which is pulled as tight as possible to make it easier to hide.
At the end point of the finished rope, a small loop is made, and from it five loops are knitted in the form of a chain. The very last loop must be connected to the very first. This is how the initial row is formed.
The second row is done a little differently. From the first row, a convex loop remains, into which the working tool is inserted and then also grabs the one closest to it in a counterclockwise direction.
So there are two loops on the hook, to which the free thread is also captured using the hook. The thread must be pulled through these loops. This creates the next loop.
The entire row is knitted according to the same pattern until the very end.
This pattern should be repeated from the very beginning until the entire rug is completed.

A circular connection is made as needed to introduce a specific color. The result should be a product with multi-colored even circles.
Sequential is performed by preliminary fastening of a homogeneous knitting thread. Each type of fabric is attached in the sequence intended by the manufacturer. The result is a rug with a constantly repeating pattern.
A chaotic connection occurs with the introduction of various tissues at random. The result is a bright product with absolutely illegible rows of knitting.

Rug made of braids

If it is impossible to use a knitting tool such as a crochet hook, you can use a simpler method of making a product from scraps. To do this you will need:

Fabric in three colors.
Needle and thread or glue.

Work progress:

The fabric is carefully cut into strips of the same size.
Stripes of three colors are woven into a standard braid.
The braids must be glued or sewn together.
A solid long braid is curled in a circular direction. Here the braid should also be secured with a needle and thread. You can also use glue for these purposes.

Braided rug

A rather original way of weaving is to make products using a hula hoop. This technique is quite simple. You must first prepare some elements that will be needed during the work process:

Hula Hup.
Many multi-colored thin strips of fabric.
Scissors.

The weaving technology is incredibly simple:

First of all, with the help of stripes, a kind of web is created on the hoop.
Next, the strips are threaded into this web in the center of the circle with a snake.
When one of the stripes goes through a full circle, you need to tie it with a neat knot.
All other rows are performed according to the same pattern, gradually rising to the edges of the hoop.

You can create a beautiful rug using various methods and many different materials at hand.

Soft mat

It is necessary to use dense material as a base. If you have a few old jeans in the house, they are perfect for work. They make an excellent base for the product.

To quickly complete the task, it is better to use step-by-step instructions for creating a rug from shreds with your own hands.

First of all, the shreds are prepared. It is better to choose soft fabrics that do not fray. It is necessary to cut strips of material 2 cm wide and 10 cm long. These elements are folded in half and sewn to the base.

To prevent the edges of the product from fraying, sew on bias tape or knitted tape. You can make a fringe of scraps around the perimeter.

Crocheted rugs with patterns and descriptions

Knitted decorative items give the interior a special coziness and originality. For this reason, in the homes of many craftswomen who master the crocheting technique, you can see rugs of various shapes and shades. Creating such a masterpiece will not be difficult even for a novice needlewoman. It is enough to have some crocheting skills, some patience and imagination.

To create an original carpet product, the following are suitable:

knitted stripes from old clothes;
thick yarn;
cord or rope;
plastic bags.

Option 1

To create a round rug for a nursery, it is better to use knitted stripes, which will add density to the product. In addition, washing such a product will not affect its appearance in any way, and the brightness will remain pristine.

So let's get started.

For knitting, you need to prepare a large hook and a ball of knitted scraps of 1-2 colors. We knit a chain of 3 chain stitches and close. Next we knit according to the pattern:

1 rub. - 2 air points, 11 columns. with double cape,
2 r. - 2 air p., 2 tbsp. double crochet from each stitch of the 1st row;

3 r. – 2 air. n., 1 column. double crochet, 2 tbsp. with nak. from 1 loop of the previous row;

From the 4th row, add 1 double crochet, starting the row with 2 chain stitches.

At the end of the work, we fix the last row, hemming the edge with threads.

Option 2.

Not only round or square rugs, but also octagonal products are original floor decorations. If you have a pattern, such an item can be created in a fairly short period, especially if you use thick yarn or colored cord for production.

According to the diagram, you need to cast on 6 air loops and connect them into a ring. Then from each loop we knit 2 double crochets. We knit the next 10 rows according to the pattern, adding new double crochets.

Rug made of triangles

Many unique things are made from leftover fabric. Elements folded into triangles are sewn to the base. A bright and warm rug made from scraps of triangles, created by yourself, will decorate your home.

Rectangles are cut from the material. The upper side is folded 1 cm. Then find the middle on the resulting fold, which will be the vertex of the triangle.

Required tools and materials

Each technique requires specific tools. These can be knitting needles, a crochet hook, very thick cardboard, and so on. Scissors are a tool that should always be present

It is important that they are of high quality and sharp, as this will make the work much easier.

When choosing a material, you should follow several rules:

The width of the fabric strips used to weave one carpet can be different, it all depends on the desired result.
It is desirable that the mass of the fabric be approximately the same. If there are significant differences, you can compensate for this by the size of the stripes.
You should not combine cotton and wool in one carpet, as this will not lead to a decent result. Too different structure.
It is most convenient to weave rugs from knitted products.

Weaving without a hook

You need to take a regular photo frame made of wood. You need to drive nails into it on opposite sides. The distance between them should be 2.5 cm.

Afterwards the threads are pulled, resulting in a base. Pieces of knitted fabric are used for weaving.

Basic manufacturing technologies

Electric floor heating mat

On the Internet you can see a huge number of products, which ultimately makes the choice very difficult. In order to simplify the search, it is worth dividing all products according to the main manufacturing methods:

Sewing. The simplest method, but when using it, there is a need for additional tools, such as a sewing machine. With the help of such a very ordinary home device, you can produce a very beautiful and high-quality rug in a short period of time.
Weaving. It will require perseverance, time and patience. But the result is amazing. To bring it to reality you will need the simplest loom.
Crocheted. Knitting needles are generally not used for weaving such products, since they cannot bear such a load. But the hook is ideal because the structure is solid and durable.
Knitting on a special basis. Rugs knitted using this technique will look perfect in any interior, as the result is soft and has an aesthetic appearance. This option will require the purchase of a special base, but it is worth noting that it is inexpensive.

You can clearly see the work process in the following video:

Volumetric product made from scraps

You should choose fabrics of suitable colors, it is better to use cotton. For the craft you will need 144 elements measuring 15x15 cm and 11x11 cm. On each side of the larger part, make a counter fold of 2 cm.

The element is combined with a smaller square and stitched, leaving a hole for stuffing. You can place a padding polyester inside and then carefully sew up the element.

To figure out how to sew a rug from scraps with your own hands, use the master class. This will help you get the job done quickly.

An important step is the assembly of the product. The parts are combined with each other and sewn together. They are assembled in random order, or according to a pre-prepared pattern, to create a pattern.

The piece of fabric is folded with the product right sides inward, then stitched, leaving a gap. The product is turned inside out and bias tape is sewn around the perimeter.

Preparing yarn

Before you start knitting a rug from a variety of T-shirts and knitted rags of different colors with your own hands, you need to prepare the yarn.

Attention! The denser the fabric, the narrower you cut the ribbons for work.

Let's look at the step-by-step process of preparing yarn:

wash and dry things well;
cut them into even strips of equal width (about 1.5 -2 cm);
stretch the ribbons a little so they curl into yarn;
sew the strips together;
Carefully roll the stitched ribbons into balls (make sure that they do not twist and have uniform tension).

It will be great if the balls turn out to be multi-colored.

The width of the strips depends on the density of the material. The thinner it is, the wider the cut strips.

Note! Knitwear for work can be cut in two ways: in a circle and in a spiral.

Crochet blanket in patchwork style master class

A more complex option for creating a rug, requiring patience and perseverance, is crocheting in patchwork style. The main feature of this technique is to create small parts of a certain shape for further connection into a whole canvas. The number of such components determines the size of the future product.

To create a rug, you need to prepare several shades of yarn, an appropriate size hook, and scissors.

Operating procedure:

To create a piece for a rug, you need to create the required number of squares, which should subsequently be sewn. To create a part measuring 16 by 16 cm, you must follow the order:

We collect a chain of 19 air loops.
At the beginning of the second row we make 3 chain stitches and 18 double crochets.

We knit the next 11 rows according to the pattern:

The required number of finished parts should be sewn together. For a small rectangular product, 8-10 squares are enough; for a larger rug, at least 20 squares should be knitted. We sew the parts according to the following picture:

To ensure the integrity of the product, the edge of the rug must be tied with 2 rows of single crochets. Such a rug will be an excellent solution for both an apartment and a cottage, adding a colorful touch to the interior.
