Recently, it has become fashionable again to do needlework or, as it is commonly called, handmade. Any old thing can get a second life. For example, bath towels. Out-of-circulation products can be used as an excellent material for a home rug. In needlework, both large bath wipes and small options for hands or face are used. They can be plain or multi-colored, terry and waffle. Even if the textiles are old, it’s not a problem at all. The torn piece should be thrown away; this will not affect the overall quality of the product for the feet. However For the fluffiness of such a carpet, it is better to use large terry towels. Their rather large size can be considered a plus. This fabric does not fray or fray. So there will be no harm from the rug.
The process does not require any special skills or special knowledge. This can also be turned into a fun activity with children.
How to prepare a towel for weaving
No special preparation is required to make a new home accessory. Clean towels
necessary cut into strips of equal width approximately 5–8 centimeters.
REFERENCE! For an average rug you will need three bath towels.
It is better to choose different colors, but compatible with each other.
The cut strips can be left without stitching. But To make the future product neater, their long edges can be sewn together.
Towel weaving technique
There are two types of making a fluffy rug. 
- In the first option, the braid is extended as the stripes end.
- In the second, long strips are immediately made and then weaved.
Weaving technique
- To begin with, let's take three stripes of different colors, put their ends together, sew the beginning.
- Further braid an ordinary braid, as was done for my daughter in kindergarten. If the first option is chosen, then, as necessary, the ends of the strips are hemmed with the next piece of fabric.
- The ends of the finished product should also be sewn.
- Now twist the resulting braid into a spiral, periodically sewing the turns together.
The warm and soft round rug is ready. It will fit perfectly in the bathroom or toilet, on the balcony or near the bed.
ADVICE! You can also make such a rug in a square or rectangular shape. To do this, several braids are woven. These braids are then sewn together.
You can sew an applique on top and decorate the edges with cute pom-poms.
This type of creativity will not only bring useful crafts to your home, but will also allow you to have a wonderful time with your family.
