Introduction

Don’t throw away those old t-shirts. Turn them into a fun knotted rug or bathmat. No sewing skills required, you just have to know how to tie a knot!
Step 1

Cut Strips
Cut the t-shirts into long 1/2" strips.
Step 2

Cut Strips into Shorter Pieces
Cut the strips into 5" pieces. There is no need to be specific, simply eyeball it.
Step 3

Thread Strips into Rug Pad
Use a pointy object — like a pencil — to push one end of a strip through the holes on the bottom of the no-slip rug pad.
Step 4

Knot Each Strip
Tie the fabric strip in a knot.
Step 5

Fill It In
Repeat the previous steps, pushing the strips through all of the holes on the no-slip rug pad until it is completely covered. Double up on the strips for a fuller rug.
Step 6

Looking for a Cheater Method?
Simply hot glue the strips in place directly on the top of the rug pad, bunching the strips together on top of the glue. Place a piece of cardboard under the rug because the hot glue will seep through the holes and make a mess. Once the glue dries, run your hand over the top of the rug to remove any loose pieces.
Step 7

Soft on The Feet
Enjoy your new bathmat, knowing that you put those old ratty t-shirts to much better use.
