Creative design of transforming old clothes into carpets, DIY picture tutorial of scrap cloth carpet

Preparation Materials and methods:
We first found a few autumn clothes of similar thickness, cut them into 8 cm long strips, and connected them into one long strip, a total of three strips, for braiding. Then fold both sides in half, hide the edges inside, and then sew into a long strip. Some of them are ironed. I think the sewing machine needs to be faster~~ Then braid, not much to say, haha, leave 30 centimeters for the heart. Then start braiding around the center, stitching from the back as you go.
1. First cut the old clothes into strips. The width of the strips should be determined according to the thickness of the cloth. If it is relatively thick, cut the cloth into a narrower one; otherwise, cut it into a wider one (this step is quite important). Then fold them to a width of about 6 mm, and fold the raw edge of the cloth inside. A cloth of normal thickness can be folded into four layers. For cloth that is thinner or thicker, increase or decrease the number of layers depending on the situation. Use larger ones when folding. Sew them together using the stitch code, or use a sewing machine to make a single thread, saving time and effort. Prepare three such strips of cloth, the colors can be arranged according to your own ideas, and the length can be more convenient to start braiding.

2 , braid the cut strips of fabric. (The braid should be as tight as possible, so that the sewn floor mat will be more crisp and beautiful).
As you knit, connect and sew the fabric strips.

3. When the braid reaches a certain length, you can start to braid it. First imagine the shape and size of the braid. The method is to measure First, measure the width of the braid you have made. It has two functions. One is to determine the length of the beginning, and the other is to calculate the approximate length of the braid you want to use. This way you can know it well and avoid wasted effort. ( The braid I made is about 1.5cm wide and the starting length is about 25 or 26cm. The size of the sewn floor mat is 53×33.5cm).

4 , sewing. At this time, special attention should be paid to: 1. Be sure to use a thread as strong as possible and look at the reverse side to sew; 2. No matter how loose or tight you braid, you must not pull the seam! You must try to make the braid as loose as possible, especially at the corners, otherwise there will be a pit in the middle, and the pit will become more obvious with the seams.

5 , According to the size required, make the size for 6 peopleconsistent round pad

6 , series connection. Use a crochet hook to connect the sewn braids in your favorite pattern, and a beautiful floor mat is completed.

Give skilled craftsmen a space to exchange their skills. Let everyone use their hands to exert their wisdom, settle their lives, and release their souls. Floor mats made from old clothes are recycled, energy-saving, environmentally friendly and beautiful.
