Upcycling old bedsheets into a woven rug is a brilliant way to save money while creating something totally custom for your home. This handmade rug tutorial from A Beautiful Mess shows you how to turn three king-size flat sheets into a soft, durable rug using a simple cardboard loom. Because you’re tearing the fabric into strips, the process is very forgiving and gives the rug a cozy, rustic texture that’s perfect for a any room.
The best part about this method is that you don’t need much to get started. By using a large piece of cardboard as your frame, you can weave the torn fabric pieces together to create exactly the size and shape you need. It’s a rhythmic, tactile project that is surprisingly easy for beginner rug makers. You can mix and match colors from different sheets to create a one-of-a-kind pattern that fits your space perfectly!
