Hello Girls I am new on here and I am so excited because all of this is right up my alley. My Aunt taught me years ago how to make a rag rug wear you tear off strips of rags and hook them together. Unfortunately I have forgotten how and I can not ask her now. Can you girls help me? i would really like to do this. Thank y'all so much.

Just saw a listing for a crocheted rag rug. Tear the strips, then crochet, either a large circle, square or rectangle. That is if you crochet.

Life's too short to sit in a box all day. Get out and do something creative.

I have found 3 different methods of making a rag rug, braided http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_Uz4H47-wc , crocheted http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2010/02/rag-rug-tutorial.html , and the tooth brush method. http://www.alpacabytes.com/2010/01/13/how-to-make-a-rag-rug-toothbrush-rug/ I personally have used all three methods. This is something that you can easily teach the kids to do.

Remember… Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body. Instead, you should slide in sideways, glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, in a body thoroughly used up, worn out and screaming “Woohooo! What a ride!”
