Why do you need a carpet in your home? For warmth and comfort. What about the rug? The same. A handmade rug has become a symbol of wealth, art and labor of a worker. Today's needlewomen will weave and knit rugs, rags, and rugs from yarn and threads with their own hands and on a low budget. There are many ways. The simplest one is to weave a rug from threads. Let's share this master class.
Materials and tools for manufacturing
The basis
For making a soft, warm and comfortable rug you will need carpet or loin canvas 
net. Such materials are often used in practice, but it makes no difference which of them is used. If you have other materials at hand: canvas/tarpaulin mesh, burlap/matting, then you can take them.
Attention! It is better not to use synthetics, wool and silk for the base. They can slide on the floor, causing inconvenience for you and your guests.
Carpet canvas can be purchased at the store. Usually it is cut off in 1 m sections.
As an option You can also use construction mesh, it is strong and durable.
Other materials
For decoration you will need threads. Leftover yarn of different colors will do, it will be even brighter and sunnier.
Of the devices needed hook with foot. If it is not there, then you can work as a regular knitter.
How to make a rug from threads on a mesh
- First you need to prepare the threads. They will be the main look and decoration of the product. They are needed cut into equal lengths and widths. The larger, or rather, the longer, the thread, the fluffier the pile.
- Now you need to attach the threads to the base. A hook will help here. Using a crochet hook, you need to push the thread through the square of the canvas and tie it on the reverse side. So labor-intensive, slowly but carefully you need to tie each cell with a thread.
Attention! If you wish, you can do everything in one color, or you can do it with a pattern, ornament, pattern.
For other weaving, you will need embroidery patterns, which you can search on the Internet.
- When marking, be sure to leave a few cm for the outline.
- At the end of the work, we “comb” the product to make it neat and fluffy. When tying yarn, the length may vary. To prevent a big difference, you can trim with scissors. Everything is different here; the shorter the haircut, the clearer the drawing.
You can tie a crochet hook with a foot a little differently. The knot is tied, but the thread does not come out completely.
Rug made of knitted tapes on a mesh
And there is another way in which weaving is done from narrow patchwork strips. They can 
come from ordinary things: T-shirts, knitwear and other fabrics. It is important that the strips should be at least approximately the same length. In addition, you will need scissors and a hook.
Now let's start weaving.
- The ends of the mesh need to be secured with tape, since the base may bend or fray during operation.
- The required fabric needs to be cut.We repeat: the shreds should be at least approximately the same length with a parameter of one by one and a half cm. If you take a longer length, the rug will be fluffier and softer.
- The same as described above. You need to pass a flap through each hole of the mesh and tie it. You can use a hook, it’s more convenient.
Really, be patient. If all the patches are untied, you can sew or glue them to the base. For example, to burlap or other dense material.
The rug itself can be placed anywhere. Little time will be spent. If you have time and creativity, then why not make a spectacular and stylish rug? Good luck!
