Hello
Good Evening all, had a few days off from blogging as decided to relax this weekend and not do much crafting (strange I know). Sometimes I get so caught up in making new things and designing and writing new patterns for future things to make that I forget to just simply relax to forget to relax and with having anxiety I never sit still!
So, while I was relaxing I found myself a(nother) new project, I realise that I should probably finish some of my other projects before I begin but sometimes the excitement of a new project carries me away with it and I can't be tamed. My project this time is to make a rug for the living room. I've researched various rug making methods, by researched I mean looked through Pinterest for a few hours studying various techniques and here is what I discovered.
Felt Balls
I had a look at felt ball rugs on Pinterest and they look lovely all of them are made with such bright colourful felt balls which makes me want to buy lots of felt and begin making a tirade of felt balls. After weighing up the cost factor of this I think it's probably going to be an expensive project?? The rug I'm hoping to make needs to be around 4' x 2' at least so that would be a lot of felt balls, plus with having a dogs and a cat I think the wear and tear of it would be questionable to say the least. I could be wrong but I wouldn't want my beautiful felt balls being squished by my dog or clawed by my cat the horror would be too much to take.
Crochet
To crochet a rug I would be cutting up old t-shirts into fabric strips and then using a very large crochet hook I would then crochet a huge round. Sounds easy enough and I love this idea and I imagine it would grow quite quickly and also be pretty well constructed with regards to the animals walking around on it. Do I have enough t-shirts though??Rug Conclusion
Ill probably add this to my one day list
