z. Raggety Rugs – Shaggy Rugs – Recycling Fabric

March 21, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, Home Decor

I made these some while ago while being quite homeless and waiting for a new abode.  All materials for these raggety, shaggy rugs were obtained very cheaply from the local co-op shop.

I am not going into overly long details as the pictures pretty much tell the whole story and these shaggy rugs from re-cycled fabrics are quite easy to make.

Z. Recycled Plastic Rugs – Crochet Rugs

March 21, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, Home Decor

Now that I have used up all the spare plastic bags in the house and have made the first of my recycled plastic rugs, I feel almost shy to show it to you.  Only after I had already made my rug, did I go looking for examples on Google. I found a plethora of beautiful plastic rugs. But never mind, I will still you my humble one as it is a good starting point for generation of further ideas and to get some of the basics in hand.
