Ooh what are the bins? That sounds like a fun place. Yes the frame needs to be sturdy but you can take a wobbly frame and reinforce it with metal brackets like I did. I look forward to seeing your rugs!
I had just make chair pads for my kitchen chairs 😊 the heels and toes make cats and dog beds for donations or for your own pets. Aw you are fun come back.
Thank you for this fun project to use up my bags of old socks. I would be tempted to save the heals and toes for stuffing. I'm wondering if you could make floor pillows or cubes with your little rugs?
Hi Alli - you are welcome to use strips of t-shirts. In my case, I use the rest of the t-shirts to make t-shirt yarn. I weave them into a different type of rug called a fluffy rug. You can visit trashmagination.com to learn more about that. This rug was designed to use up the t-shirt components that I cannot use to make t-shirt yarn. If you don't make t-shirt yarn, then you could certainly use it in this type of rug! Do note that the strips that are not on the waistband will stretch a LOT more because there are not stitches holding it back. You will need to experiment but I bet a child's t-shirt will give you a big enough loop for this size of loom. An adult t-shirt loop would stretch out too much.
In our house, it would only take a few months to get enough socks. So no worries! You'll be making a rug in no time! Plus you could ask friends and that will speed it up.
¡Gracias por tu pregunta! No lo pondría en mi lavadora de casa. Pesa entre 3 y 4,5 kg. Si está mojado, podría romper la máquina. Así que lo llevo a la lavandería.
Well, my holes in my heddle loom are too small and I could not squeeze in the t-shirt loops to make the warp. But maybe your heddle loom has very large holes where you put in your warp threads? Certainly, if you wanted to use a regular thread for the warp, you could weave with sock & t-shirt loops for the weft.
Love watching crafts like this idea with a frame. Never thought of using old socks .
This is exactly the tutorial I was looking for and you are a great teatcher. Thank you for the video!
Gosh thanks so much! I appreciate your positive energy! Have fun making rugs!
THIS WAS AWESOME! This method reminded me of the potholder loom kits I used as a kid . Totally cool! 😊❤
Thanks for your enthusiasm Carol! I would love to see what you make!
Brilliant recycling 🎉
Great video thanks
I know what I'm picking up at the bins next time! This is great for upcycling! It also looks like the frame needs to be pretty sturdy.

Why can’t you use just strips of t-shirt for the long pieces? Why only the bottoms hem of the t-shirt?

Good work.@@trashmagination1000
I’m so sad I just threw a trash bag full of socks away 🤦🏻♀️ and my daughters wonder why I am an hoarder
