I started tightly winding the rope.
How to make a rug out of jute.
Then take the largest diameter cardboard carpet tube you can find like from a dumpster behind a carpet store and re roll it in the opposite direction from the one it wants to be in.
First start your chain and make it to the desired length you wish your rug to be there are 61 starting loops in the chain in the tutorial.
At the entryway of a home open the door fully and plan to place your rug about 6 inches.
Make sure the crosses are evenly spaced apart from each other as well.
Hope you stuck it out with the jute to make this simple rug.
Then double crochet all the way back to the other end your product at this point wit look like the photo below.
We also picked up silicone to hold the jute together.
Wrap the jute around itself periodically securing the jute with additional dollops of adhesive when needed.
Create rug place a generous dollop of clear adhesive caulk onto the center dot then place one end of your jute rope onto the adhesive.
The silicone did not work out because it doesn t dry quickly enough so i switched to hot glue which worked perfect.
I think the key for me was to take breaks to give my hands a break.
5 spools of jute twine.
Repeat until you have reached the edge of your drawer liner base.
In a dining area center the rug under the table with enough space to pull the chairs out on top of it.
Keep it warm and dry and unroll it in a day or so.
Since this was really a 1 person job my friend started painting another room in the house while i happily got to work on the rug.
Unroll the rug get it damp not very though flip it over so it s trying to roll up upside down.
It really did make a difference.
