By Rosaleeb. Bardillio


A braided wool rug is one thing that you can make to decorate your home with and also pick up a new hobby. You can use these rugs in just about any room of the house since they are beautiful, durable, and functional. Creating this kind of rug is not difficult, and even those with no experience will be able to make one that they are proud of on the first try. To get started you will need to gather the cloth and get it ready for braiding, choose what shape your rug will be, and then start putting it together. After you have completed braiding your rug, you can put it in just about any room in your home.

People like to work with wool because of how it feels and how sturdy it is. Upon collecting all of the fabric that you require, you may need to cut it into strips that have a width of one to three inches. The thickness of the cloth will determine how wide the rug will be, and you want to make sure that all of your strips are very close to the same size. You will sew the ends of the strips together diagonally once they have all been cut to the right size. You will then have to wrap them around some sort of roll to keep them from getting tangled.

You are ready to begin making your braided wool rug after you have decided if you want the rug to be oval, round, or rectangular. The standard three-strand braid is the kind of braid that you will use when creating this rug. You will need to tie one end of the braid to a sturdy or stable item and only braid about 9 feet at once. If you make the strips too long then they can become tangled as you try to braid them. Once you have braided your strips, you can begin lacing them together in the right shape. By lacing the braids together you will make a rug that is reversible.

These kinds of rugs work well in just about any room of the house. You can enhance or highlight your living room or dining room by choosing the right colors. You can place these rugs at entrances and areas that are walked on a great deal because they are durable. You might also like this kind of rug if you are looking for good quality bathroom rug sets. They are moisture resistant and long-lasting, so they won't get a worn down look like other types of rugs might.

The addition of a rug to a room is an easy way to make it look new. You can be very pleased of your handiwork every time you walk into the room by utilizing the simple process to make a braided wool rug. Any individual can produce a rug like this for their home as long as they know how to do a standard three-strand braid.
