The first thing you can say about, starting a master class on how to make a do-it-yourself rug, is a manifestation of imagination, the application of perseverance and patience, and then a unique product can be created without difficulty.
And if you fill the mat with a removable pad in the form of an abrasive filler, then from decorative it will turn into a massage one.
In the photo of the rugs it can be seen that it is possible to make a floor covering with your own hands from pre-prepared pompons or pile threads, by knitting, weaving or weaving.

Knitted floor products
For the manufacture of knitted products, it is necessary to prepare the following materials
- cardboard canvas
- marker pen,
- threads of various thicknesses,
- scissors,
- hook number 7 and above (can be replaced with knitting needles).
First of all, air loops are collected in the amount that corresponds to the rectangular size of the future carpet. To make a round product, it is enough to dial five air loops, connect them with a ring, and then, adding them in a circle, tie the blank.
For convenience, we came up with the patchwork technique when several parts of the canvas are prepared, and then they are all sewn into a single product.
Products from pompons
To make a rug from pompons you should get:
- yarn
- crochet
- with scissors
- a construction mesh broken into cells, which will serve as the basis of the carpet.
Thread pompons are easy to make. To do this, threads are wound around fingers or cardboard blanks.
Further, on the one hand, they bind and cut along the edges. The rug looks much more beautiful if the pompons fit snugly together. The edges of the product are processed with fabric, ribbons or tied.
Wicker patterns
The unique woven product is made of thick cardboard at the base of the rug, multi-colored threads of different thicknesses and twine. The circle is divided into 32 sectors, which are indicated by a pencil.
Next, at the ends of each sector, an incision is made to secure the twine. Twine is wound from sector to neighboring sector through the center of the circle.
The threads are intertwined with twine from the center, while it is necessary to monitor the density of the rows. At the end of the paperboard is removed.
Woven Pattern
For the tissue process, it is necessary to prepare:
- frame
- wand
- threads for warp and villi,
- 3 x 20 cm strip of cardboard,
- scissors,
- a thick needle.
Woven floor paintings consist of threads of longitudinal and transverse directions, which intersect each other in the order of chess.
Such a product is obtained with the same image on both sides, so it can be two-sided.
Fabric and fur mats
An attractive rug can be made from soft ball-shaped fabric pads. For this, blanks are prepared.
Note!
In the middle of each of them lay a piece of padding polyester and sew the edges to the desired diameter. The resulting balls are fixed among themselves.
Old gizmos
Rugs from old things can be made by everyone who has accumulated unnecessary T-shirts, t-shirts and other knitwear.
For work you will need:
- building mesh, broken into large cells,
- thick crochet hook
- strips cut from old things.
Under the prepared mesh in the center, lay a strip of fabric, and the ends are brought out with a hook and tied tightly. Next in the same way they pass the next strip and also tighten the knot.
Knitting is carried out in a spiral until the entire mesh is filled. From such strips, you can make pigtails in advance and lay out a carpet of them.
Note!
Patchwork
To make homemade patchwork rugs, you need to purchase materials in the form of a base for the product, scissors, rags, needles, fabric glue and duct tape.
Separate flaps are sewn into a long ribbon, then cut into strips from which braids are woven. Then these braids are stacked in rows close and sewn together with threads.
Canvas made of two contrasting rugs
Using two outdoor products of various colors, it is possible to create a unique copy with a zebra print.
On a darker canvas, future light strips are outlined. The necessary stains are cut from a light mat. In a dark carpet, the same cuts are made in places where light ones will be placed.
Then all the prepared elements are glued together with tape. Such an unusual and soft copy can become a favorite rug for children.
Pebble carpet
Such a massage mat is made of smooth pebbles, a rubber mat, high-quality adhesive.
Note!
Before sticking the pebbles onto a rubber base, they should be thoroughly washed and dried.
