Shag Rag Rugs are soft and cozy, warm and inviting and extremely stylish; making them the perfect addition to a hefty price tag that came with it. I was bound and determined to have a shag rug for my grand baby’s nursery, and guess what? My DIY Shag Rag Rug turned out GREAT, it looks so much better than I imagined!

I’ve seen a 3X5 at Urban Outfitters $79.00. This is how you make one with very little expense.

How to Make a Rag Rug

MATERIALS:
1. 1/4″ mesh rug canvas or a rug gripper
2. Fabric (cotton or synthetic wool works great)
3. Scissors

For fabric, you may even want to use recycled t-shirts or scrap fabric. It cuts costs and puts old clothing to good use!

DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut fabric into strips. About 1/2 by 4 inches each. See what looks best for your particular rug.
2. If you have a pattern or design in mind, plan out where each color will go.
3. Feed each strip through the mesh across a diagonal.
4. Tie one square knot. Or add another knot for increased density.

Watch this step by step tutorial and make yourself one!
