This week I am hosting "Jacky's Craft Camp." I do this for our 4-H club and others who ask to come. Today was Day 1 - Hula Hoop Rugs. I saw this idea on pinterest here: http://spoonful.com/crafts/hula-hoop-rug Here are a few pictures of us making our rugs.
You make this out of old t-shirts. Lay out your shirt and mark it every 1". Cut across the shirt and make the strips you will weave with. Stretch 11 strips around a hula hoop - your loom - and tie on one strip with a loop knot. Keep adding your t-shirt loops with a loop knot. Then weave - over, under. Her directions are really good.
The kids took home their unfinished projects to keep working on. Really fun recycle project. Day 2 - tomorrow.

Good morning...what a fantastic fun project.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see a finished rug.
Now the hoop...I'm assuming you release the edges when all done - I can't imagine the lump you would have if not.
I think my granddaughter would love this project...I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE INFORMATION.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm going to have to go check out the directions. Fair season is soon going to be here, and we are all getting excited for new projects.
