Now that you have the loom - watch how to make the rug here ruclips.net/video/PIeqHdVQf1o/видео.html
I've tried making the rug and ripped it out at least 3 times. I just cannot get what to do when I get to each end of a row. It never comes out right. Is there a sort of "rule of thumb" that I can keep in my head while doing it? I'm about to give up!
I keep going back to watch urs
I watched the video twice, bought the supplies and today I built my rag rug loom! Mine is 20 x 40! I cannot wait to get my fabric strips torn! Thank you so much for the instructional video.
Oh my - I am so excited for you! I have supplies ready to start another one - I love making them!! Let me know if you have any questions! If you want, send me pictures of your progress diyonthehouse@gmail.com
Thank you very much for sharing! This video is short, to the point, and very well done. Clear enough for a weekend warrior to build a loom for his wife! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your wife makes some beautiful rugs, God Bless you both
She does! Thank you! May God bless you too.
I love that your workbench is cluttered with grimy, grungy old stuff and an ancient anvil. How delightfully real! Squeaky-clean, shiny professional tools and workbenches are intimidating.
It is a working shop for sure.
Fantastic! I have braided rag rugs, but they are labor intensive. I’ve wanted to have a frame to do this weaving , but found the cost of buying one was more than I could justify spending. After watching your video this AM (5:30 AM), I hopped in the car and drove to Home Depot where I found everything I needed and they even cut the wood to size for me. Can’t wait to put my frame together after my salsa verde finishing cooking!
The tutorials for weaving the actual rugs are terrific; wonderfully paced with excellent demos and tips and tricks to make one successful! I can’t wait to raid my stash of already ripped and balled fabric (old sheets) and get going on this project. Great job!!
DANG, you just made my day!! I love your enthusiasm and excitement! Have fun with your projects!
I like the simplicity of your design. I feel like I can do this.
You can do it!
I adore the “king” on the sofa, supervising.
Funny -- yes they do tend to rule the place!!
Thank you for this perfect demonstration. She's a lucky lady! I do all the diy in our house 😆
You are so welcome! I am lucky for sure!
Looks like fun. He is very good at explaining the information for the directions. He keeps it simple, while providing the reasoning for why it is being done in this fashion. He is a good teacher.
Thank you, I agree, he is fantastic!!
Ross, this is brilliant! The rods make a tremendous difference. Can't wait to build this. I currently use a frame that I made from an old picture frame and constantly fight the uneven edge. The rods will be a game changer. Thank you!
Fantastic! We LOVE ours!!
I just took a class with you - and when I looked up your video and channel I had already liked and subscribed! when I was looking for rug weaving - I like what you share! Glad to meet you!
Awesome! Thank you! Good to meet you as well.
Thank you both so much. Explain in an easy to understand lesson. I will share my 1st rug. Again, to BOTH of you thank you very much. Planning on giving as great gifts as well. 🎉🎉🎉
Our pleasure!
Thank you Ross for an easy way to build a loom.
You bet! Have fun!!
Thank you so much for the simple and easy to follow instructions. I have just made my loom from wood and nails from the second-hand store and I am super excited to get started on the weaving. I have been wanting to weave with recycled fabric scraps for so long and never really knew how to go about it, so I am super grateful for you making it so clear. Thanks and a big thumbs up, all the way from Hobart, Australia!
Wonderful! I love it - Australia!! Have fun!
So kind of you to share with us how to make the looms ourselves! I surely appreciate it and the idea of the rod to keep the rug strait is genius. Thank you so much!
Glad you like it!! I have loved making the rugs!!
I am hooked! I quite accidently stumbled onto your video tutorial and then showed hubby that he can make a loom for me. He did and I cannot stop looming. I've made 3 pot mats, he adopted another size to make table mats, made a loom for bathroom rugs and the bigger loom for floor rugs... I just can't stop. My family are tickled pink that I've fallen in love with looming... I've always been craftsy, but this is very relaxing, especially when you're in a rhythm... Thank you for sharing these videos... Xxx
Can you see my smile?!!! That is awesome!! I love it! I know exactly what you mean! I have two more started now for other videos -- one using t-shirts -- and one using twine! So glad you are having fun with them! Did you see our video on joining the rugs together -- GREAT way to make a floor runner!
A wonderful instructor.
Thank you!!
WOW! how cool!! i had no idea this was possible! Bless you! Thank you!
You bet!
Very clear instructions. Great work. I can't wait to get started.
Have fun!
Thank you for sharing. Wow what a fantastic video and so inspiring. Getting everything needed to make two sizes tomorrow, then let the fun begin. Debs from Down Under.
You are so welcome! Good luck with the loom.
Cutest project EVER. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much!
Ross, this looks fantastic! Can't wait to get the loom made and start on a rug for my new bathroom! Thank you so much for a great video, clear concise and professional quality.
You are so welcome! Have Fun!
Wow I need to get my partner to make me this
I had no idea what a loom was until I watched
Melanie Ham's video on making a beanie.
Then I came across this video and wow I just love
the rugs. I have always wanted to make a rug.
thank you for a GREAT video
Thank you so much!! Have fun!
Feel in love with this the minute I saw it. I will show to my grandson and he will make me one. Thanks for sharing.
I built one today just like this and it turned out great 👍🏽 ! Thanks
Great to hear! Now on to the weaving.
Thank you Ross & Tara, need to get supplies to make the loom, my Granddaughter already gave me her old but still looks New T-shirts, all dirt colors. Thank you!!
Exciting!! Have fun!
I just finished making my own,1st ever loom! Despite a few teensy glitches, none of which were due to your instructions btw, I think I've built myself a very respectable, functional rag-rug loom ready for weaving! Thanks for a great video, and methods to create a truly unique rug. Time to start ripping rags I guess!!
Nice work! I hope you enjoy weaving rugs as much as I do!! I would love to see progress of your project if you want to email pictures diyonthehouse@gmail.com
Saw your video by accident and you mentioned how to build a rug frame was the earlier video. Hunted for this video. Happy to see how the frame is built. Want to make one like this. Thanks.
Yay! Glad you found it!!
Thanks, I am on a tear this week. This will be the third loom I've built, unless I build a frame loom first.
Have fun!
5:10pm just what I needed. Thank you. I will now build a loom
Awesome you will do great.
Wow, I found your site by accident and I can’t tell you how pleased I am. I was recently talking about making some rag rugs for our bathroom.
I know it would have been a failure. But NOW I,m equally sure we going to make a perfect loom and my winter nights will be occupied profitably
Thank you SO much. BTW, I’m in New Zealand and we’re about to go down to level two in our fight against C19
New Zealand! Fantastic! I just finished making a rug yesterday out of a plush blanket that made a super soft and thick rug -- that would also be great for a bathroom. I should get the video up next week! Stay safe and healthy!
@@DIYOnTheHouse I saw that video . I could just feel how lux that would be bathroom or bedside.
Thank you sooo much for putting these videos up. Your husband is a good guy.
You are so welcome! He is truly the BEST!
@@DIYOnTheHouse
Does he have a brother? I’m looking in Michigan and it’s slim pickings.
I look forward to my hubby building this for me 😊
😄
I love this! The tricks are in the details of the changing parts. So helpful. Makes me wanna rip up fabrics from thrifting, etc. I am gonna beg my husband to make me the nail box system!
Glad it was helpful!
I have crocheted rugs from sheets and from T-shirts...ready to try this loom method next.
Have fun!
The side rods are the BEST idea ever!
My wife's idea.
I enjoy all of the information on all of the DIY on the video
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. I can definitely make my own loom now. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Nice clear instructions, thank you! 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
You are such a talented couple. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Im a quilter and former fabric store owner:) I know what I'm doing with all my leftover fabrics:) as soon as hubby makes my frame. Thank You, grandchildren will also enjoy this.
That is awesome! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
How wonderful to have a helping husband!
Thank you for your video. I had made a huge loom with what made sense to me..back in the day. Made 1 rug. The fabric had so many strings I was disappointed an never made another rug. My loom is like yours but I never knew about the side rods. My rug turned out great tho. I'll be adding the rods. Thank you!
Yay!! I am excited for you. I really enjoyed the tshirt rug I made, no strings! Little messy on the balls of knit that fell off, but loved it. Here is that video in case you wanted to try ruclips.net/video/6KJ6_Zmux-I/видео.html
Thank you! My husband just made the loom for me and I can't wait to get started on my rug!
Wonderful! Have fun!!
I am nearly done and love it so much!
Thx. Been wanting to know how to do this. Rods make all the difference.
Big time!
WOW ~ THANK YOU SO MUCH ~ THE PRICES TO BUY A READY MADE FRAME ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND NOT ONLY THAT MOST WILL NOT SHIP TO UK 🇬🇧 ~ NOW I CAN MAKE MY OWN !!
Glad it was helpful!
I have just made one. Easy to make and only cost me £24 for 2 frames. one is 39" by 23" and the other one is 27" square. I reclaimed to wood but £24 was for brackets, nails, screws and metal rods. Well worth the effort. Thank you so much for providing this tutorial. :)
Nice to have a simple DYI frame that works well, yes?
Picked up supplies to make my loom today 😃 I purchased a Suspension rod for the rods. It’s 5mm diameter (which is a little bigger than the 3/16in but not by much) it came in a massive (3.6meter is that 12 foot?!) length but can be cut with bolt cutters (by the nice man who works there so you can fit it in your car, if your lucky😉) it’s galvanised and used in suspended ceilings. Cost me $3.99 at Bunnings. Just thought I’d share because it took me ages to figure out what kind of rod to look for lol.
That is incredibly helpful!! Thank you! Glad you found them -- have fun weaving!!
I finished my rug today! I made it pretty big and did a few other craft projects in between. Thanks for the great video. I used all my babies clothes she’s outgrown and it’s going to be a wall hanging.
Thank you for the very easy instructions.
You are welcome!
Thanks for showing the build process
No problem 👍
Ohmygoodness. I've been saving my selvege edges for years, and knew I would want to make a rug someday!
You will love it!!
Awesome job and teamwork to boot.
Thanks 👍
Thank YOU FOR SHARING YOUR SKILLS❤🎉ToomCapeTown❤❤💐👌
You are so welcome
Wish I had a husband like you! Thanks for making it so clear to understand. Can't wait to try it.
You are so welcome! Have fun!
Thank You both So Much❣️👍😊
Our pleasure!
❤thank you! I sent this tutorial straight to my hubby 😘
You will LOVE it!!! Have fun!
Your weaving video popped up on my RUclips feed. Whooohooo! My lucky day. I have a small loom, but I would love to make bigger projects. I love how simple and easy joining the strips of material is. I'm showing my husband this video now!
Glad it popped up too!! Have fun with your projects! If you have any questions, let us know!
Lol..I was thinking, that man loves his wife;)..lol this is Great!! Thank you..I'm making this loom..very cool.
You’re welcome 😊 Ross is one-in-a-million!!!
I thank you so much for your directions on how to make a loom! I would have never been able to try this without your generosity and directions! I am so grateful!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am so happy to have found you. This is the first video of yours I came across. Had been always wanted to learn to make a loom.
I am so excited for you!! I am starting a denim rug this week!! It is so much fun!!
Thank you for both of your videos, how to make a loom and how to make a rag rug. Great.instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
instructions were easy to follow and seemed to be something I am going to be able to do. Thank you for taking the time to instruct us. I enjoy crafting and I found your site because I was looking for something new. I hope to make a rug for each of my kids for Christmas. Thanks again.
Thank you!! They make great gifts -- I have given countless of these as gifts, everyone loves them!!! Enjoy!
Thank you for showing us this. I prefer maker videos without music. So don't know how other people feel or if you really like the music but I don't think it's necessary when your content is so helpful. I really appreciate the instructions on how to do this!!
Thanks - appreciate that!
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I don't need another obsession! But now I know what to do with the results of my fabric obsession...
You used the correct word! It can become an obsession!! I love making these rugs!
This loom looks like so much fun that I went out and bought the materials I need but didn’t get the inside angle braces. Thank you so much for sharing this
You are so welcome! Hopefully you love it as much as I do!!
I'm making this today(not hubby) for a gift ! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful - Have fun!
Thank you for posting this video. I have purchased all the needed materials for construction. This loom lends itself to Any Size that you want to make.
Exactly!! I have a few different sizes of looms now! They are pretty economical to make, so it is pretty easy to make them the size you need. Enjoy!!
Thank you so much I have been wanting a loom but now I have the know how to build it...
Wonderful!
Wonderful tutorial by you and your husband! I appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Whooohooo! Good job guys!
Awww Thanks!
It is so refreshing to know that I am not the only one who's husband uses the living room as an extension to the basement workshop 🥰🥰🤭🤭🤭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So true! The worst is when it is the Kitchen table!! I smile through it... especially when it is feeding my craft habits!
Excellent demo. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Can we build it?
Yes we can!
Thanks for sharing
Yes you can!
@@DIYOnTheHouse
My husband picked me up the hardware over the weekend. So I was able to build the loom.
Have a box of a variety of bedding, recently brought out of storage..
Now if my grandson will cooperate.. we may have a rug by the end of the week. 🙂
Excellent Tutorials Kara & Ross! I've watched both of your tutorials on this project and feel confident that I can tackle making BOTH the Loom and the Rag Rug. I was delighted when I noticed Kara wearing an "IOWA HAWKEYES" shirt in a portion of her looming tutorial! It's so nice to meet fellow Hawkeyes via RUclips! I live in the Des Moines area now, but grew up in Davenport, IA. Thanks so much for both tutorials. My grandmother, who lived in Allamakee County in N.E. Iowa, made a huge variety of different types of rugs from scrap fabric when I was a little kid and I've been wanting to make own for a long time. You guys have given me the exact type of instructions and tips to finally do it!
Have a blessed day!
Christy
WOW!! Fantastic! Yes - we love Iowa! I originally grew up in Grimes, west side of Des Moines. Ross grew up near Pella in Sully, Iowa. I hope you enjoy making the rugs as much as we do! I have a video set to post next week on how to weave using crochet thread -- it made an adorable table runner! Let me know how your project goes!
What a lovely couple you two are...and you create the best videos..very clear, quick, and all around awesome! Can't wait to try what you two have created!
Thanks so much! 😊Truly appreciate that!
Thank you so much for sharing. I just made one and it was very easy following you directions.
You are so welcome!
ThankYou for teaching me how to make this Frame God bless your hand👍🏻🙏🏻
You are welcome 😊
I adore rag rugs.
Me too!!!
She really loves her husband,let him work on her cutting mat and using her ruler with the drill etc lol
You speak the truth!! Scary when power tools get near my sewing table!!😃
@@DIYOnTheHouse yes but sometimes when you want that odd job done you can't quarrel too much
😂😂😂
I do my own hardware work cos i like doing it
My hubby and I have an agreement. He stays away from my tools and I stay out of his kitchen. 😊
TANK YOU !!!!!!!!! Im makin one ! Yea, te Rod is a ENIUS IDEA !!!!
It works GREAT!
¡Fantástico! Y muy bien explicado. Me gustó mucho para hacer algunos almohadones también, de forma cuadrada. Me suscribí.
Los veo desde Uruguay. 🇺🇾
¡Me alegro! ¡Gracias por suscribirse!
Thank you for sharing the build on a loom for a rug. I have always wanted to know how to build my own. I very much appreciate it. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
you both are just great thanks for sharing.
Appreciate that! Thanks!
Thank you for all your videos, my DH made a loom for me and I have twined my first rug!
Wonderful! Great job!
Thanks 🙏 a bunch you two darlings!! Much appreciated!!!
You two are cuter than two speckled pups under a red wagon I love it! Gonna try this
Thank you!! The rugs are fun to make!!
Great how-to video. Now I need to go see if I have some 1x3s in my basement! Creating a purpose-built loom for rag rug weaving seems so much simpler than trying to warp up my rigid heddle loom.
Thank you!! Have fun!
Great instructions, cant wait to put hubby to work, and your puppy chillin on the couch is too cute!
Thank you! 😊
What a great hubby! Thanks!
The best!
Great tutorial! Well explained!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a fabulous video thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Thanks! Easy to follow instructions. Just perfect. Off to make one now!
Wonderful! Have fun!!
Thank you for the tutorial on building the loom . Made my first one... started it on Friday and finished today... took longer as I didn’t get enough nails and had to go back to the store!!!! Now let’s see if I can actually make a good and usable rug!
Fantastic!! I am excited for you! I would love to see pictures of your projects! diyonthehouse@gmail.com
Thank you so much for your instructions on making a loom. Very easy to follow along. I have been looking for directions for some. Ready made looms are expensive and defeats the whole theory of keeping the project affordable for diy up-cycling.
Glad it was helpful! Let us know if you have any questions!
Cannot wait to get started and use my leftover fabric stash
Fun!! Let me know if you have any questions!!
The best instructions for building a loom.
Thank you, appreciate that!
Thank you very much...I have been planning in my head doing this kind of my own but really was not sure about all the details...now I know better thank you :)best wishes here from Finnland
Glad it was helpful! Wow - Finland - LOVE THAT!!!
Great instructions!!
Glad you like them!
Many thanks to you both for this tutorial!!
Our pleasure! We have had a ball making these rugs!!
I’m excited to try this . Thank you! I love that I can make my own rugs.
Have fun!
