This first rug you show is to cute!
Thank you!
Thanks for the update, I cut my strips on my cutting mat with a rotary cutter. After watching the first video I got out my rag strips and made a gift for my cousin, for her birthday!
She's going to love it! 🤗
I watched someone do this about twenty years ago and had forgotten about this as a way of using my old sheets, I have lots that I couldn’t bear to throw away. A good project for the cold days of winter.
It's the perfect fall/winter project!
Oh my gosh, this is fantastic! I have always wanted to make one of these and I thought there was sewing involved. I already know how to crochet these stitches and your directions are so easy to follow! Going out today to get a Q hook and some old sheets! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Laura! Thank YOU for watching! 💞
Love this project! My 9 yr old granddaughter has just learned to crochet, she would enjoy this so much. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! She will have so much fun creating! I am currently teaching our 9 year old granddaughter how to crochet. She wants to make a rug for her room. Thank you so much for stopping by! ❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am sure try doing this way.❤
Thank you! Your feet will be in heaven!
I saw your older video and that got me saving old sheets. It's just me, so it has taken a little longer to collect enough old sheets (I'll definitely check out Goodwill) but I am finally getting ready to start the prep work. I already crochet so I'm not worried about that part. I just love the idea of taking something that would normally be thrown away and extending the life of it in an entirely new way. I grew up sleeping under old quilts my great-grandmother made and they were faded, worn, and a little frayed. I don't mind that and actually expect that based on the way the strips are made. Love the concept and can't wait to get started!
Thank you! I just know you will love the end result. Especially if you like old quilts. (I do, too!) 🤗
I have made so so many and they are a MUST! I love this approach it’s old school and those little knots rub your feet !!!
Me too! 🤗
Excellent teacher, beautiful rugs! Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! 🤗
Love the beauty and simplicity of these rugs.
Thank you, Chris!

Thank you Danette! 💞
Oh what a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. You are just precious!🤗😘❤️

Thank you! It is SO EASY, & FUN!
Awesome!!!
Wonderful video - thank you...
Thank you! Have a great evening. 😊
Hi, I just found your channel, thank you for this Idea. I’m going to make a basket from my old sheets & table clothes to put my potted plants in it. I found a deep saucer to use for the bottom of the basket, it will helped to keep its shape & prevent any water damage to the basket. I found the saucer at Walmart for $1.78, it’s about 4” high & it is for a large planter. The basket can also be used for many other purposes. Thank you & look forward to your new videos 😘
Thank you! I love your idea! I bet it will be lovely! Thank you so much for sharing this with me! 💞

Thank you Sheila! Happy Thanksgiving! The very best blessings to your family, as well! 🥰🥰
Thank you. I am going to try this.
Thank YOU! 💞
I make these all the time and I enjoy making and using them and so does my family
That's great to hear! Thank you for sharing! 💞
I love making something out of things that might be thrown away. It is a real money saving and useful project. Thank you for this video. Now I know what size hook might be best to use.
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for supporting my channel! I appreciate you! Have fun creating your rag rug. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🤎
Thanks!
I had to watch your updated version. Great modifications! I would love to see how you made the yarn version, & also how an oval one could be made. The one from 13yrs ago looks wonderful! Take care.
Thank you! I will getting to the rugs soon, I hope. I have so much I'm working on. 🤗😉
Son unas alfombras preciosas❤❤❤
Yours is so so pretty
Thank you! 💞
THIS IS AMAZING! HOW DID YOU KNOW I JUST GOT A Q HOOK? MEANT TO BE! Blessings for a wonderful Holiday Season!
Thank you Lisa! I guess I know what you're going to be doing! 😉 Just in time for Christmas! Have fun! Merry Christmas! Blessings, my new friend! 🤗
Great tutorial thank you for the no music.
Thank you, Ruth Ann! ❤️
Beautiful! Would love to see you make an oval rug!
Thank you, Lisa! 💞

Thank you Penny! 😊

Thank you, Val! 💖
❤
Beautiful, I would love to see one made with yarn. Thanks
Thank you Sarah!
I crochet a bit and I would love to see you do one in yarn. Actually, I would love to see you do an oval and round one also. Thanks for the video. God bless you and your family.
Thank you, Mary 💞
Hi Julie...i so wanna try this...they look so neat!! before this updated video i had read on the other one about people using it as a weighted blanket...now i'm thinking they could be put in a duvet cover...and another mention was plarn rugs...people make them for unfortunates living on the street as a mattress to lay down on...i think if they were made with sheets like yours it would bring them more warmth...
Thank you! I think you are so right! ❤
I definitely would love to see you do an oval one!
Thank you! 😊
nice
Thank you Susan! Have a beautiful day! 💞
I keep posting cause your add on comments
Your so nice
But sharp as a tack - they used to say
Try weird colors that makes people want mine more !!
They can be so pretty with weird off tones
Way back when.....quilts were often made using ugly colors, but what most people don't consider, is that the lighting was very dim. Most homes were lit by lamplight or candles. In this low light, those ugly colors were beautiful! It's the same with the rag rugs. What we see as ugly color, or even a crazy color we wouldn't ordinarily use, is actually beautiful in the low light of the evenings. My husband and I light our home with oil lamps. We have them scattered throughout our home. It gives everything such a soft cozy glow. Thank you for stopping by! ❤️
Yes please
Thank you Melinda! 💞
I rem seeing the old girls making rag rugs didnt look as pretty as them though that's lovely
Thank you! ❤️
How do you crochet with the strips with one pattern on one side only ?
Thank you for ssking Elaine! I really need to do another video on the actual crochet pattern. I think more toward fall I will. Things will slow down with my gardening and canning by then. I started with a chain of 9, I think. Then turned back on that. I just kept going around creating an oval, and increasing as I went. You need to mark your starting point, so not to lose your place. I will definitely do a video on it for you! Thank you for your interest! 💖
How many sheets do you think it will take to make one for my living room floor?
Oh, gosh! I think I would start with 10. It'll depend on the size of the sheet, too. Have fun! 😊
hi Julie, is there a link for the rug you crocheted with wool?
Hi Ann. I didn't make a video on what I think you are referring to. Do you mean the rectangular burgundy and mustard colored rug? If that is the one you mean, I just used 3 strands of worsted weight yarn and simply crocheted it up into the size I needed. If this isn't what you were referring to, can you let me know, please?
@@JulieKeeperofMyHome hi Julie, thanks for replying yes it is the wool crocheted rug, was there a particular crochet stitch you used, its lovely
Thank you! I just used a single crochet stitch. I also added fringe. I'm not sure what size hook I used, but I'm sure as long as you use one that will work with 3 strands, it will be fine. You can use any type of yarn to make this. You could even use t-shirt yarn. I'd love to hear all about it when it's done. Have fun!
Your pile of strips looked like salad :)
7:12 is the time stamp for when she shows the joining method
Wait...don't some fabrics tear better than others? Of what fabric should the sheets be made? Cotton, linen, polyester, microfiber???
I like cotton best. You're right. Tearing is easier with some fabrics than it is with others, but you could always use scissors or a rotary cutter. This is such a fun project. I hope you give it a try!
I have a question, does it matter if the sheets are not 100% cotton when you are ripping them like that?
I don't think so, but I'm not 100%. All you can do is try. I've ripped cotton, cotton blend, and flannel.
Can I ask what is the crochet hook size ?
I use a size Q hook for this rug and just a single crochet stitch. I hope you make one. Your feet will love you!
What kind of yarn did you use?
Worsted weight yarn. Just something in my stash. I have so much! 🤔
What size hook are you using.
Hi, Sue! I am using a size Q hook.
Are they cotton or flannel?
Cotton. With the exception of the rug I showed that was crocheted from yarn. Thank you for watching! 💞
Thank you!
Where is the pattern use? It looks like single crocheted what about the ends?
Thank you Katherine. This is all done using a Q hook and single crochet. I began by chaining 9, then just kept going in rounds, increasing by 2 or 3 around the 4 corners (curves). It's very easy to do.
Sorry Julie I meant the long one you made. I chained 30 for length just not sure on corners. When you get to end are you crocheting one or two then turn and are you going into first or second stitch. I’m having trouble keeping it even. Thanks for answering so quickly though. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you! For that rug I actually used 3 different three different yarn colors all at the same time. It was a challenge, but a fun one! I chained as many stitches to get the length I wanted, then turned and went back and forth until I got the size I wanted. Does that help?
Have you heard of "Arm Knitting"?
I have heard of arm crocheting, but not knitting. My niece used to crochet on her arm. Quite interesting! I've never tried it, though.
There are videos here on RUclips 😉
Walking is a trip hazard 😊
Yes, any rug can be a potential trip hazard. I like to place my crocheted rag rugs in low traffic areas, such as at a bedside or in a walk-in closet. I also recommend placing a rug gripper pad under your rug to keep it from sliding. Have a blessed holiday!
You didn't show how to start the rug!! I know how to tear a sheet! 🙄
Hi Karen. As I stated in my description box below my video, this is not a video teaching you how to crochet. I am only showing you a great way to recycle your old sheets and the end results.
Maybe this will help you...
I started with a chain of 9, I think. It's been quite a while since I've made one. Then, I turned back on that. I just kept going around creating an oval and increasing as I went. You need to mark your starting point so as not to lose your place. Thank you for stopping by. God bless.
