6 Easy DIY Rag Rugs You’ll Want To Try

Easy DIY Rag Rugs You’ll Want To Try
Hi, everyone! If you’re looking for a fun project to work on, but you’re not sure just what kind of approach you want to take, why not focus on home essentials?
These 6 Easy DIY Rag Rugs You’ll Want To Try are going to be wonderful choices that will show you just how satisfying it can be to work on something classic with lots of modern vibes, too.
There are many fun ways to make rag rugs that help you give old scraps a new life and still give you a chance to explore bespoke home decor.
The goal is to figure out which of these is going to be right for your decor scheme!
For those who want a truly classic design, round and oval rugs are the way to go.
A round one uses old sheets to help create a hypnotic and eternal style that is going to be truly wonderful.
A great choice for a child’s bedroom or an entryway, this is a fun idea!
The oval one works the same way, and you can use old sheets, shirts, or whatever else you have to create the effect that you’re going through.
Great for a living room or other common area.
Similar to those is going to be an Amish knot rag rug which is very similar to the two methods above but offers a bit more texture in the knots.
Perfect for that kitschy appeal that is going to be a wonderful adventure into upcycling.
If you’re going for something a bit more modern, you can also design rectangular rag rugs, with fringe or without.
The fringed one is wonderful for use as an anti-fatigue mat that doesn’t have a cold or nondescript vibe to it.
The other one creates a more uniform shape to it and gives it just the right kind of appeal when you’re looking specifically for a smooth edge.
Finally, you can explore a now sew rag rug that gets a little wild and crazy — in a good way.
You just rip up and tie together old pieces of t-shirt or whatever fabric you can find into a random, fun, fluffy mat. The more random you are with these, the better!
