In daily life, there are actually many tips for turning waste into treasure. For example, old clothes can be repurposed into cushions. There are too many old clothes or old silk scarves to use up. Take out a few pieces and make a small placemat or floor mat. It is simple and convenient to make. You can cut and wind the strips of cloth as you like, and the pattern will not be messy. Definitely suitable for beginners to operate.
The steps are as follows: Prepare a few old clothes and T-shirts, and use scissors to cut them into long strips of cloth 4CM wide.
The cut cloth strips are ready for later use, and then prepare a wooden frame with nails nailed, or use cardboard to cut into a woven board that can be wrapped around the cloth strips. If you like to weave it more densely, place it on the wooden frame every 1 to 2 cm apart. Dice a nail, and cut a hole in the cardboard every 1 to 2cm to hold the cloth strip.
Wrap the diagonal line with a strip of cloth, go around the opposite side, and then back again.
As shown below, wrap the cloth strip as many times as you want.
Finally until the entire braided board is wrapped.
After wrapping the first layer, use this method to wrap the second layer.
Then pick up the second layer of cloth strips and use the lattice method to wrap every other strip of cloth from the top to the bottom and then up again.
As shown below.
Until the last winding is completed.
Thread on the needle and thread, and fix the edges of the knitted cloth with needle and thread. The position of each cross strip of cloth is fixed with a cross knot of needle and thread without cutting the thread. Then jump to the next cross and fix it until all four sides are covered. Until fixed.
After fixing the edges with needle and thread, use scissors to cut the fabric strips flat and remove them.
Isn’t it very simple? Find some old clothes to try. We have as many floor mats as we need at home.
