Make a DIY Bathroom Rug in 1 Hour or Less

by on Aug 15, 2017

Having a cushy rug under your feet is the coziest thing I can imagine, and it’s nice to be greeted with a fluffy bathroom rug as soon as you get out of the shower or as you stand at the sink to brush your teeth. It just adds to the relaxing feeling of a well-designed bathroom! In order to bring that coziness into your home, you can make your own bathroom rug in just one hour or less using a simple technique for weaving yarn through netting. 

This is one of those projects that’s easy to work on in front of the TV because after a few pieces it begins to feel like a mindless activity. Just let your hands do the work and before you know it, you’ll have a new bathroom rug!

 Materials:

  • Latch hook rug base
  • Fluffy yarn
  • Tape
  • Scissors

Step

Cut the latch hook rug base to your desired size. In this case, I made a 16×24 inch rug.

Step

Wrap the end of a piece of yarn in tape. This will make it easy to thread through each opening in the rug base.

Step

It’s easiest when the yarn is cut into 24-inch-long pieces. Starting in one corner of the rug base, push the tape wrapped yarn up through one square of the rug base. Weave over 1-2 squares and continue an under-over weave pattern all the way across the base, pulling the yarn up between stitches to create this plush look. 

Continue this weaving step until the entire base is woven, continuing with multiple pieces of yarn as needed. 

Step

On the bottom of the rug, tape down the loose yarn so prevent it from fraying or coming undone.

Homemade rugs don’t have to be incredibly difficult! Although this rug may not be as long-lasting as one you purchase from a store, it’s nice to have a homemade touch in every room of the house, and this plush yarn will feel so comfortable under your bare feet!
