    These round rugs were originally woven using the old metal wagon wheel circle. It was wrapped with padding and fabric strips that you could pin your warp strips to

    Thank you !!! You do such a fantastic job with showing the steps of your weaving projects!!! I just found your channel because I couldn't sleep! I have always wanted to weave and this is a process and project I can do. I always thought it would involve a very fancy and very ,very expensive loom, that I could maybe rent for a few weeks, at 1,000+$ per week, or something like that, along with all types of high cost yards c and fabrics & other items for creating a rug, etcetera. I am thrilled and so excited to start! I just hope whoever ( your husband?) that maked your handmade loom, the one you used to make the one with greens, white, yellow,some with blue, the square "rag rug" for your powder room. I hope my husband is going to be happy to spend his Sunday afternoon watching how to build it, then making me one! I have so many fabric scraps and I don't know if I can wait until morning to start ripping the strips!!!!🥳 I hope you continue making these videos. You have a gift for teaching your craft, as well as your great talent at it.
    Be well and happy,
    Audri

    On the prototype: lay it in the bathtub and soak it with water. Take it out and lay flat on a couple of towels to absorb with water that will catch the drip. Then after a few hours move it to a warm place -- possibly outside in the sun. once it is fairly dry which may take a day or two place a large piece of plastic/garbage bag on top and then----place some weights on it such as books. This may do the trick.

      I was wondering about using a hula hoop as well but, wondered if it would be too flexible. Some hula hoops have a small length of plastic as a joiner, (l have one l threaded a shower curtain on to use as a camping privacy screen). It may be possible to pull one apart, cut a segment out of one end, rejoin it and make a sort of diy embroidery hoop. That would make it more rigid but I'm not sure if it would be rigid enough.

    I would suggest using a sunburst pattern for "embroidering" the center with a wool needle pulling more scrap lengths through to cover the hole in the center, the same needle and scrap fabric could be used to bind the outer edge, as well. Pony makes good plastic needles for this with huge flexible eyes.

    Have you thought about tacking a 'Yo-Yo' fabric circle in the middle? And is there a way the outside edge can be used to completely finish the rug? Since there is so much fabric at the edge, you might be able to loosely 'French Braid' or twine the finished edge to match the style of the rest of the rug weaving.

      You're timing is perfect - I have been practicing that knot on an oval rug!! Such a cool technique!

    Do you take the backing off for washing ?

    • @DIYOnTheHouse
      @DIYOnTheHouse  2 роки тому

      No, I leave it on. Wash on delicate and line dry.

    What if you pulled the black fabric in the hoop taught as a drum? Then you'll have a flatter warp and avoid the bowl effect.

      I had a tough time keeping it tight - I thought the same thing, but the fabric would loosen as I worked with it.

    on the one that curves up... add a handle and make a basket to let it hold your balls of material.

    Great effort. Nice product. I don't see why you shouldn't go ahead and work in some sort of star or rose pattern into the middle of it so it is not blank....? Could be done at the start or the end, No?

      I played around with it, I was worried it would make it too weak in the center. If you try something different, let me know!!

    Do you prewash the material before cutting strips?

    • @DIYOnTheHouse
      @DIYOnTheHouse  3 роки тому +1

      Not on most of it. Most of it was an old sheet that had been washed plenty.

    • @longyarn4288

      It also depends on the fabric. If you're using old sheets that have been washed in hot water it's probably not necessary, but curtains and clothing probably ought to be washed in hot water to ensure no further shrinkage will take place when washing the rug.

    Have you ever taken the step to sew the raw edges of the strips under to make the rug have no raw edges? How do you think that may impact the rug?

    • @DIYOnTheHouse
      @DIYOnTheHouse  Рік тому

      I didn't try that - it should work, it would probably make it a one-sided rug is all. I may have to try it and see how it works.

    That looks great but what happens when you wash it? I'm currently persuading, or maybe bullying😸, my husband to make me a rug loom with the metal rods at the sides based on yours but the width will be adjustable (to make it narrower if required) and have rollers sticking out of each end to make longer rugs. I'll let you know how it goes. I've asked various friends if they have unwanted clothes, sheets, curtains etc and everyone seems to have taken stuff to the Red Cross bins last week😿. Maybe I'll cut up my husband's trousers if he doesn't make my loom soon!!!!!

    • @DIYOnTheHouse
      @DIYOnTheHouse  3 роки тому

      Cutting up his trousers might some good leverage in getting a loom made!! 😅 I haven't washed the round rug yet. Here is a video on me washing the other rugs, they turned out great! ua-cam.com/video/zCDsES-AVmo/v-deo.html

    • @longyarn4288
      @longyarn4288 3 роки тому

      Be sure to pre-wash all fabric before cutting it up. A great place to find materials is a local thrift store. Check to see if they have any specials or half off days, or damaged-beyond-repair bins. Can't hurt to ask!

    An idea for the sample rug that curved up… turn it into an ottoman or pouf.

  • @yapszeyoke8192

    I follow your tutorial and made a round rug. I did not use the sewing machine to sew the edge. I weave round the edge with strip of cloth😄

      GREAT idea! If you want to email me a picture I would love to see it! diyonthehouse@gmail.com. I love that idea!
