Braided Jeans Rag Rug

Remember the crocheted rugs I've been making from old, stained clothing? Well, I finally got around to using up some of the mountains of denim that have been accumulating from my ever-growing son (and his daddy).

I tried to crochet with the strips of denim, but it's just too thick. So I decided to try my hand at a braided rag rug. I was a little intimidated at first, but it's really quite easy -- and surprisingly quick!

Here's my first rug, all finished:



It's about 22" across (diameter), so it's not as small as the picture makes it out to be.

Here's a closeup:



This is definitely one of those projects that makes you feel like a pioneer woman - in a fun way! :)
