Theme of rugs and rugs made by one's ownhands, is quite popular, and the popularity of such crafts increases with the onset of the cold season. We offer an interesting idea on how to make a beautiful and bright felt carpet with your own hands. The technique of making such a rug can be compared to quilling - the art of creating compositions from twisted strips of paper. Only in our case we will use strips of felt or other material.
Materials for making a rug
In this master class, as the mainThe material used is multi-colored strips of felt. But if you specifically purchase felt or felt, you can imagine how much it will cost to create such a carpet. Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to other options that will reduce the cost of the craft, although, probably, the appearance will not be so bright and festive. It all depends on the accuracy of execution and selection of colors.
So, instead of felt or felt, you cantry to take old thin blankets, for example, children's ones, jeans of different shades, woolen sweaters and jackets, demi-season coats. If you don’t have your own unnecessary things, you can always buy them very cheaply at second-hand stores. You will also need glue, ideally a glue gun.

The technology of creating a felt carpet with your ownIt's easy to do with your hands, but it requires patience. You have already prepared strips of material and even sorted them by color and shade. You also have a glue gun, which will be very convenient to use in this case. We apply a thin strip of glue to the fabric and roll the strip into a small roll, which we continue to paste over with a strip of a different color. We glue the new tape exactly at the joint to the previous one.
Such rolls will become the central round elements in the body of the finished carpet.
You can easily come up with a rug pattern yourself.Several round, oval and irregularly shaped elements of different sizes are connected to each other with glue, and the space between them is filled with the same felt strips.
The result looks amazing! And here is a carpet made from old blankets.
This rug was made from different materials - a terry robe, a wool sweater and knitted T-shirts.
