The Amish are known for their handcrafted artisan goods and delicious foods. When I found this awesome Amish toothbrush knot rug video tutorial on YouTube, I wanted to make it immediately because I love all things Amish. I have been needing some small rag rugs for our kitchen and porch area, and this tutorial was exactly what I needed to get this project going. The coolest thing about this rug tutorial is that you can use new fabric or recycled fabric from old sheets or duvet covers.
Materials:
- Fabric (either new or recycled cut into 1 1/2 inch wide strips)
- A clothespin
- A large notebook with clips
- A pair of scissors
- A spool of ribbon
Directions:
The directions for this awesome Amish toothbrush knot rug video tutorial on YouTube, could not be easier. You begin by building a spine for the central portion of the rug, by using a large notebook with hooks and fastening the ribbon and a strip of the material then knotting.
Then, you just continue working around the rug until you reach your desired width.
I just love these rugs and they are going to look fabulous in our kitchen and on our porch area.
