The fun thing about this project is that you can

play with all sorts of colours and patterns and it

works with a rug of any size. You don’t have to

know how to sew either — it’s just one easy

stitch! Complete a 3' x 5' rug like mine in the

time it takes to watch two movies or pick away at

it in your spare time over a couple of weekends.

A simple jute rag rug

offers a nice neutral base

for this project and the

looser weave means

there’s plenty of room to

loop twine through. Rug
