So there's a sort of junk shop a few suburbs away where they give away free clothes (The Green Shed for people who live in Canberra) and I collected a bunch of old t-shirts (I had to go there numerous times because apparently people don't wear brightly coloured shirts, they only wear grey and dark blue). I chose really old holey shirts so that I wasn't destroying anything too nice and then I just followed the instructions on the website and made a rug! But my rug just won't iron out flat so I sort of stretched it out on my hands and knees and looked like one of those water spiders to try and make it flat and not look like a bowl. But meh, I think it will go flat when people start sitting on it or walking on it or whatever.
It was very easy to make and I braided most of it while watching Eurovision (yes, I am obsessed with Eurovision - go Australia! Go Dami Im!) and then I left it to think about what it's done for a few weeks while I got the diligence (or botheredness) to sew it up because I like to leave half-finished projects around the house for weeks/months/years. Anyway, I like it. Make your own.
