Rags ‘n Ropes to Rugs

May 17, 2017

Make a statement in any room with a fun and easy DIY braided or rope rug.  Perfect for indoor or outdoor decor, a rug can be a perfect accessory for adding some style.

Braided rugs and rope rugs can be made from just about any material, natural or synthetic, often giving tired old t-shirts and worn out ropes a second life as a rug.

There are many shapes and styles of braided and rope rugs.  Here are just some of the various styles and strategies for making them.

Instead of braiding the old bed sheet, use it as a accent to the rope rug, as seen here for a beachy vibe.
