Art from waste!






I make useful of myself sometimes. I made this foot mat out of old clothes. Required items are any old cloth, in good condition or worn out, crochet hook - bigger size the better, scissors and your precious time.

step 1 : cut the cloth as long stripes of 1 to 1 and half inch, if stripes are not continuous, make a knot at ends of stripes.

Row 1 : With crochet hook, make a chain of 5. Make a single chain with chain 1, to make a circle.
Row 2 : make two chain, then in each chain in row 1, make two half-double crusades.
Row 3 : make two chain, then in each chain in row 2, make two half-double crusades.
Row 4 : make two chain, then make a single half-double crusades in chain 1, then two half-double crusades in chain 2. Make sure that alternate chains having two half-double crusades.
Row 5 and 6 same as Row 4.
You can have more rows, if you want a bigger one.
we can use this as foot mat, floor mat in children play area,  table cloth, or as you wish depends on your requirements.
