I’ll have to do a follow up post after I cut this baby up. I hope I get some pretty fabric out of it. I was told to do it outside and be careful because sometimes there’s metal in the fabric and it can be pokey.#chindi rugs #crafty #junkjournal #ephemera

... Read moreChindi rugs are popular for their vibrant colors and unique textures, making them a perfect material for various craft projects. When cutting your rug, ensure you do so in a safe environment to avoid injuries from any hidden metal or sharp edges. It's advisable to use a sturdy pair of scissors or a rotary cutter for cleaner cuts. Additionally, consider how you want to utilize the fabric after cutting. These rugs can be creatively repurposed into items like table runners, wall art, or even patchwork quilts. If you're feeling adventurous, combine different fabrics to create a one-of-a-kind design, ensuring each piece has its charm while maintaining some cohesiveness. Remember to experiment with various colors and patterns, as the beauty of chindi rugs lies in their randomness and eclectic nature. Don't forget to share your projects on Lemon8, as the community thrives on inspiration from others! Using chindi rug scraps is not only a fun way to express your creativity, but it also promotes sustainable practices by reducing waste in crafting. So gather your tools, plan your cuts, and dive into the world of crafty possibilities!

It took me 15 days to crochet a moss rug.
Finally! Finished! Yay! The process was simple, just time-consuming. The hard decoration took 40+ hours, the pom-poms took 15+ hours intermittently, and the backing took 3 hours. In total, it took 60+ hours. The finished product is quite nice though! #MossRug #HandmadeIsTheBest #Kee

I’d wanted to try tufting for a long time but never thought it something I’d be able to do. Since I had tried sewing before and haven’t gotten that down I always thought tufting would be something I struggled with. But the more videos I kept seeing on it, the more I wanted to try it! After

Finishing up back of a rug
Here is a little sneak peak on how I finish my rugs! After the glue drys, we use the water fall effect to fold over the raw edges. Once the edges are laid, we glue the backing on. On this piece I used felt. Once glued to the back, we cut the excess felt off and get started on the trimming process ❤
