I got latch hook canvas .......enough to make 3 sturdy rag hooked rugs with........I cut it so I would have 2 to go under my ironwork chairs that i love so much .. they will just fit under the chairs. Then a longer piece for a rug for my bedroom floor . I decided to have 3 of them going at one time. That way as i cut my tub of small scrap up...... I can go ahead and use it in the designs. I havent decided if I am doing stripes or colors just blending into different shade...or actually drawing a design on the canvas .. I have so many ideas running thru my head for rag rugs made this way. I probaly am going to buy more canvas so i can have 5 or 6 going at one time. I have all hardwood floors and this is an affordable way for me to have cool rugs for the house. Fabric scrap will cost nothing as I have a huge plastic storage tub of scraps that are maybe 6 or 8 in square and perfect for this project. I will use a strip 1 inch by 6 inches to hook with ................. This will more than likely be an AFTER the holidays project though... Still have xmas gifts to make over next few weeks
Like the hook rug kits you can buy in the store that use yarn? Is that what I've been missing? I've done those kits before.
