One of my acquaintances asked for her mats in the "grandmother's" rustic style and not knitted, and woven. I did it once, so I decided to share my skill. Everything is simple, available and on completion and materials.
It will take for work
-list of cardboard, for mats 30x30 cardboard no less than 40x40.
- yarn, twine or some ribbon to pull the filament of the base on the template
- Basic yarn or fabric strips as well as there may be ribbons or braid to create a mat
- scissors
Carts mark from two opposite sides by the edge of the pencil with a distance of 1 cm. On the markup we make cuts 0.5 cm. Through these cuts, we precisely stretch the threads (twine) for the base.
Then we take strips of the main fabric (duck) or yarn and begin to stretch them between the bases of the base: then on top of the filament of the base, then from the bottom, and so in turns all the ranks from above, from the bottom from the bottom ... I do not delay the thread freely, but not very much Weakly, so as not to stick on top of the loop. At the edges, the thread of the duck tie to extreme threads of the base.
We also stretch the second row, but in the sequence is strictly the opposite, if the duck thread is on top, above the filament of the base, then in the second row, on the contrary, it will be from below and on the contrary. In a chess order, it turns out to be a simple quenching.
Each row tightly press each other after each broach, like on a weaving machine
When it turns out the rug of the desired size of the base, we associate in pairs and cut.
Such mats can be used for the decoration of stools, chairs, sofa pillows, you can make a long rug.
The main thing is that the abilities are not particularly needed, not materials, go into the course and remnants of fabrics, yarn, ribbons, even old clothes cut into strips, it is not forbidden, so to speak the second life of your favorite things.
