I've started a new project - I'm trying a braided rag rug. So far I've got the rags (chopped up clothes) and I've figured out how to attach the pieces - I tried knotting them and quickly realized that was a bad idea, so I found a tip online. You snip a little hole in the end of each piece of rag and pull them through (sorry if that's confusing, I didn't save the instructions). I've also discovered that I need to keep the braid at the edge of the table and the loose pieces not too long or it constantly knots up as you're braiding.
