Sometimes we have old t-shirts that have too much sentimental value to get to get rid of or are just a little bit too stained to be able to consign. Well, here is a fun project that is super simple and gives you a great new rug for your kids room! With just a few supplies, and I mean just a few, your youngin' can weave themself their own rug. You'll need a hula-hoop, scissors and a bunch of t-shirts!
Here is some weaving jargon for you to use to impress your friends; because we all know everyone is impressed by weaving knowledge:
warp- set of lengthwise yarn (in this case t-shirt) that is held in tension on the frame
weft- the material inserted over and under the warps to create the weave

This is seriously a crazy easy project to make a fun, colorful, handmade rug!
