This is perfect. This lady shows you how to do it without having to sell every single section. You only “ lace it” sort of sewing- the very end.! Love her. Amazing!!
Oh wow... I absolutely love it. I can't get over what a treasure you have, in your Art, and that you can pass it on to your daughter & eventually Grandbebez. Who doesn't want a Grandma Rug?
I love this!! I have a braided rug my grandmother made years ago and I’ve always wanted to learn how to make my own. Thank you for posting this great video. Beautiful work!!
Aaww, mine was a quilted blanket and I love it, she gave us as a gift we got married, I love gifts from grandma!...thank you for watching, if you have any questions let me know!
You did a great job! I also liked your explanations and how you joined the T-shirt strands. Your video, by far, is the most informative I've seen and I really love the way your rugs turned out! Thank you so much!
wow ang galing nyo namang gumawa ng DIY braided rug from old shirt. Ganyan lang pala gawin yan. Matrabaho pero at least makakatipid. Maganda syang libangan o kaya gawing negosyo.
Muy hermoso tapete, es una verdadera artesana , felicidades me gustó mucho y espero me salga tan bonito como el de ella, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, Dios la bendiga, 🙏, saludos desde México!!
This is the original way to construct a braided rug. I've watched other videos and they don't show this technique. Some of the new ones require using a sewing machine, which I find awkward and too "thready" with all the zigzag. Others are too hole-y that you can see through them and aren't very functional. I purchased the tools for this technique years ago in the 1970's, which included a fabric stripper, because woven cottons were used, and a lacing tool, which looked similar to a small bodkin. Nice work! Thank you for this video.
It looks so pretty. I made a circular braided rug from old t shirts and fabric scraps. I didn't sew it, but used hot glue( CAUSE I'M NOT SO PATIENT TO SEW IT TOGETHER 😂). It turned fine, for put on my flip flops. Thank you so much for publishing the tutorial. I think that i'm gonna make an other rug, but now OVAL. A kiss from Italy😉
It’s a beautiful rug. It would be really helpful if you could give an idea of how many t-shirts you used for a rug that size (red, white & black). Thank you for the detailed instructions.
That's exactly what I was going to ask. I was wondering if it was 1 shirt of each color?? Love knowing how to do this now!! My grandma made these, & she made some room size ones, however I was too young when she passed away, so I never learned how she made them. So happy I came across this!!
I’ve been pricing rugs and thought that I’d look up a diy video. Since time is money I believe that about $450 for a 8’X12’ is par. I’ll save money by doing it myself and have a custom piece, and the time taken will be equal to any money spent on instant gratification in the form of a pre-fab rug. Thanx for making and posting this video! 😎
Really really wonderful video! Literally without much material, sewing machine etc.; this is the most easy way of making rug. And that too a thick and sturdy one! Thanks a ton for sharing!
Wow you are having so much patience and doing it peacefully. I loved the way you did it very neat and clean. Loved to see the joy and satisfaction on your face after completing it. 30*50inches is much bigger.
I really truly appreciate you showing me the right way to do this , thank you so much I now can do it so much easier and it will truly look better . So much appreciate your talent and thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Manang for sharing this beautiful rug making with us. The detailed explanation along with each step is really very helpful and appreciated. Will try and share when I make mine. God bless ⚘⚘🙏🙏
Yes! Just what I was looking for. My grandparents used to have these rugs around when I was a kids. Time to make NEW for my home! I wonder if I could use old bed sheets?
Napaka useful nito siss Salamat sa sau madami kaming mga lumang damit na d na ginagamit gagawin ko din tulad nito. Dinugtungan ko nrin ang vahay mo. Salamat
Wow ang galing mo sis malaki na yang nagagawa mo..nung nasa pilipinas ako gumagawa din kami ng basahan meron mga retaso na pahaba na nabibili sa mga garments factory ..Nandito na ako sis nagawa ko na lahat Goodluck and have a nice day.
Hello Manang...Your rug is so beautiful...You should make rugs and sell them on Ebay or Etsy!! Did you know for your "thread"..you can also use Twine...it's the cord like you use when flying a kite...Makes the lacing super strong and it is so much cheaper than thread...Have a wonderful day with your family...Bless...Cindy Smith...central Florida..USA..
Thank you, I actually sell some stuff that I make on Ebay but sometimes when it's beautiful like this it makes me don't wanna sell it. I do sell top quilt and some crocheted stuff. I never tried twine and that's a very good idea, I will keep that in mind and will do it next time. I really appreciate for watching, enjoy the beautiful weather in Florida and have great day!
Oh my gosh you are so talented! You’re inspirational I have always wanted to try to make a rag rug but was so intimidated. Your instructions are so clear I am going to try this and rewatch as I go along. Thank you so very much! How many tshirts do I need to get started? How do you pick your colors? Thank you for any guidance.
Start six t-shirts, two each colors. When you pick colors try to braid them first then you'll see how it looks like. Also I just wanna mention, you can use twine or kite thread for lacing. Thank you for watching!
