Halloween Welcome Mat from Upcycled T-shirts

I weave two kinds of rugs from unwanted t-shirts. One type uses the body and sleeves of the t-shirts. The other uses the collars, cuffs and waistbands. The goal is zero waste in t-shirt recycling. Check out this Halloween rug – orange and black stripes – from t-shirt collars, cuffs and waistbands. The loom is made from an upcycled wooden frame I found in the trash.

Check out how I made this rug at my YouTube video:
