One of my favorite things about som e of these rugs is that they are free. This crafty idea for a handmade rug uses old tshirts to net you a plush, squishy rug that is made even better by the fact it is made from preloved Tshirts. Don’t throw those old shirts out, do this with them instead

Still amazed this is made using only a dropcloth. Some people are so creative, and this DIY blogger is definitely one of them. I need a rug in my mudroom, one that looks great but can withstand more wear and tear than a traditional rug, much less an expensive one. Making this DIY rug this weekend, as I know it is the perfect idea.
