DIY Rugs

Well, I've been accumulating a ton of old clothes that aren't even up to Goodwill's standards so my stash has been building downstairs of t-shirts, dress shirts, and jeans.  One prime spot for a rug would be for in Colby's room since the dog can't go in there the room stays much cleaner.  My favorite rug is this one from xoelle.com.  She cut all of her t-shirts into strips and then dyed them a dark gray.  I think I'd like to dye the shirts all different shades of blue, green, and gray so it gives the rug a watery appearance. Here's a few of the best ones I've seen.

I'm not so into the pink but this website has good directions.

  1. I love the rugs EM! Jason is going to go through his T shirts for me (thanks for the help getting him to clean out the closet) Pretty cool pics of the rooms too! I think that the baby room/ guestroom would look cool in the giraffe print! HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLBY!!!!
