Diy recycled tshirt rug.
Stick the knots into the glue strip leaving 1 2 inch between each knot image 2.
The cord is then coiled around to form a circle rug.
I have a fun book called rags.
Place a piece of cardboard under the rug because the hot glue will seep through the holes and make a mess.
Place a strip of hot glue 1 inch from the previous row.

Refashion your old unwanted t shirts into new shag rugs for your floor by cutting them into pieces and using them as rug yarn.
Continue to glue knotted t shirt sections all the way up the edge of the mat.
Rugs from recycled t shirts.
Once the glue dries run your hand over the top of the rug to remove any loose pieces.
Simply hot glue the strips in place directly on the top of the rug pad bunching the strips together on top of the glue.
