As promised I have photos of my first two attempts at a modified amish toothbrush rug will be included in this post. One is round, and one is ovalish. Never could get the hang of making an oval, it always ends up being closer to a square.
Neither rug is perfect, but they will work for what I wanted them for. As pads under a couple of large plants on the front porch. And all they really cost was some time cutting old t shirts into strips and then looping them together. With a little practice I can see myself making a few of these to sell at some upcoming craft shows I am doing later this year.
This is the round one, it is just about 2 1/2 feet
and this is the oval one it is about 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 feet
Like I said not bad for a first attempt. And I have lots of oversized t shirts that are way too big for me now, so I have lots of raw material to use for others. A great way to upcycle some old clothes and get get some nice useable rugs. I think I might try a basket next though. I can always use more storage.
