The closer together you make these lines the denser your rug will be.
Keep in mind that you ll also need to use more fabric as well.
The rug really was simple to make just time consuming.

The other great thing is that our fabric scraps are mostly white so you can dye them any colour you like.
The best thing about rag rug making is that you only need small scraps of fabric so they are the perfect use for the fabric remnants that you can order for free.
