T shirt turned Rug:)

So many people these days are finding that old t-shirts could make good crafting material. In the past, I have used them to make:

Scarfs

Hats 

Can Cozies

 I have also created T-Rope to crochet with, but man did it give my hand a work out messing with a VERY large crochet hook... and made a rug.. but I wasn't too impressed as to how it turned out. I have no idea what made think of messing with T-Rope again, but this time I used strips of T-shirt to weave (or braid, I'm not sure what you would call it) to make a rug.. again.

Well... I was totally obsessed with trying to get this project finished, so I started to work on it in my bed while watching The Vampire Diaries (totally obsessed with this show now, sad face) and aaaahhh it got all messed up. You see, it is very important to work on a flat surface to insure that you have created enough tension in the t-rope. Blah Blah Blah, I worked on it for quite some time, and when laid on a flat surface, it curved up! Soo I turned it into a purse!! I will prolly never be able to re-create this gem, but it turned out pretty coooool.

One inch strips of t shirt

Weaving.. Braiding.. whatever

and now I have a purse!

So then I started again, always working on a flat surface! Good thing about creating something, it doesn't necessarily have to turn out 'right' just how you want it to be:)
