How to make a rug in the hallway of the straps
Old leather belts are usually hard to findapplications and they are thrown away. But any skilled worker can inhale the obsolete straps of a second life, making them a creative mat for the hallway with their own hands.
You will need
- - leather belts or from a substitute
- - scissors for leather
- - a gypsy needle
- - awl or puncher for the skin
- - strong cord or rope
Instructions
1
We make all belts of the same length so that the carpet is flat. Buckles are cut.
2
At the edges of each strap with an awl or perforator for the skin, it is necessary to make holes, retreating from the edge of a half centimeter, and the distance between the holes should be about two centimeters.
3
All belts are stitched together with a strong stringor rope with a gypsy needle. Sewing, a string can be stretched cross to the cross, across or along the belt, as more like it. If instead of twine metal clips are used, then they are fixed with the help of pliers.
4
From the straps you can create a rug, reminiscent ofparquet floors. For this, smooth straps are taken (to make the carpet not crumpled), a thick sketch is drawn on the dense fabric and the base is cut out. Pre-prepared belts are degreased from the inside and glued on them. Belts tightly pressed against the base and glued.
5
Rugs of small sizes can be made from multi-colored belts. Embossed pattern among ordinary belts will look very impressive.
