Thick and warm crazy rug This is a super easy rug to make and it is a lot of fun! You will need about 5 yards of T-shirt material or something similar that coils up easily when stretched. You will also need a square (or any shape) of fabric for the base. The one I made is about 15" x 20" and it is super plush. Step 1: Base of rug Cut out a piece of fabric that measures 15" x 20" after you fold and hem in the sides. Step 2: Cut strips of fabric Next cut long strips one inch wide of the T-shirt fabric. Step 3: Sew rug Take the long pieces of material and stretch them out so that they coil, then cut them into about 4 inch lengths. Step 4: Great time saver! Here is a great time saver! Step 5: That's all there is to it Keep sewing until you fill the base.
