I can not even believe that these practical and spectacular mats are woven from rags in one evening,
And what to do it can be even a child.
If a lot of rubble has accumulated in your closet, it's time to give it a second life!
It can do, even a child !!!
The improvised weaving machine you can easily make out of the frames for paintings. The rug exactly will repeat her form, and in size it will be slightly smaller.
You will also need packing of nails. The finish-galvanized nails are fitted with a diameter of 1.8 mm and 5 cm long (50 mm). This is enough for a frame size of 35 by 25 cm. Cloves climb along the frame at a distance of approximately 1 cm, retreating from the angles about 3 cm.
The number of nails in each row should be odd.
Cut the fabric to long narrow strips and sew them so that it turns out a few meters long tape (take into account the length and width of the frame and the number of rows in each layer of flooring).
Council. For the first time it is better to take a knitted fabric, it stretches well and easier to work with it.
For some layers, a thick cord can be used instead of a strip from the fabric.
Tension ribbons on the frame. Start with a transverse flooring. At the end of one of the ribbons, make a loop and hook it for the second from the edge of the frame of the frame with a long side. Do it on the opposite side, hook for the second from the edge of the carnation on the other hand, stretch it back. Wrap around free carnation, skipping one, and stretch the tape on the opposite direction. Fill in the entire frame, secure it on the last nail.
Similarly, stretch the longitudinal layer of flooring using nails from short sides.
Perform another flooring in each direction. That is, if for the first time you started from the second nail from the edge, start from the first, and turn the ribbon around those nails that you missed last time.
Build layers. To do this, remove the tape of the upper (longitudinal) flooring from the extreme nail, diverate under the lowest transverse tape and put the loop back to the nail (on top of the second transverse tape). Secure the loop in the same way on each carnation. The tapes of the first longitudinal flooring (second layer) shift so that they are always between the tapes of the upper layer.
Now remove the ribbon on the opposite side, skip it between the longitudinal rows (diving under the bottom and covering the top) and put on the loop back to the nail. Start all the remaining tapes between perpendicular rows in a checker order. As in the previous step, do not forget to shift the tape of the second layer.
When all the interlacing is made, remove the rug from the frame, taking the crochet every loop through the previous one.
Use the finished rug in the hallway as the stand is under hot or as a litter for chairs and stools.
