How to Weave Rugs From Fabric Scraps

* Fabric Scraps

* A sturdy loom (a cardboard loom is a good option for beginners)

* A Tapestry Needle

* A shuttle or bobbin

* Scissors

Instructions:

1. Prepare your loom. If you are using a cardboard loom, you can make it using these instructions. Once your loom is assembled, wrap it with cotton string or yarn. The number of times you wrap the loom will determine the width of your rug.

2. Cut your fabric scraps into strips. The strips should be about 1/2 inch wide and 8 inches long.

3. Thread the shuttle or bobbin. With the shuttle or bobbin, weave the strips of fabric through the warp strings on your loom. Start at the bottom and work your way up.

4. Continue weaving until your rug is the desired length. As you weave, gently pack the fabric strips down with your fingers to create a tight weave.

5. Finish the rug. Once you have reached the desired length, cut the excess warp strings at the bottom of the rug. Then, fold the raw edges of the rug inward and stitch them together.

6. Enjoy your new rug! Your fabric scrap rug is now ready to be used and enjoyed.

* Use a variety of different fabric scraps to create a unique and interesting rug.
