Crocheted Rag Rug

I found a bunch of old cloth we had used for wise men costumes. I salvaged them and made a rug.

Materials:

1 large crochet hook

rags or other weave-able material

Step 1: Lay out the cloth

Step 2: Cut the cloth into long strips. Leave about one inch on every other end. This will create one long strip.

Step 3: Take the ends of the trips, and sew them together.

Step 4: Roll the long strips into loose balls. You can sew all the different kinds of cloth/rag together or for an organic design, crochet them together randomly.

Step 5: Crochet away.

Since the purpose of this is to use up pieces of cloth or other materials, the end result can turn out pretty random.
