Making a climbing rope rug.
It might help to tighten the tension of your thread 4.
Maybe we need a knot that can grow outward every year or two as we replace our ropes so that eventually the mat can grow into a rug.
Work day 1 get clean.
1 tube of caulk 1 caulk gun needle and thread duct tape scissors.
Work day 2a you spin me right round.
Make a simple overhand knot.
To finish it we flipped the rug over held the 2 loose ends together marked where to cut the rope cut the rope with scissors burned the ends with a lighter and sewed the two ends of rope to each other using a speedy stitcher sewing awl.
This will allow for a tighter wrap and much easier to work with 2.

It looks like there is just one misweave.
In addition to the printed pattern you ll need a a couple 20 meter sections of climbing rope a piece of wood some nails and something to cut the rope and treat the ends so that they don t fray.
Rugs can also be sewn the resulting rugs are larger a circle has roughly a 35 diameter for a 60m rope and flat.
Continue to twist the rope around until you get a large circle of rope.
Thick polyester rope in desired color felt cut into a circle ours is 24 felt should match rope scissors heavy duty construction adhesive painter s tape paintbrush silicone paint in desired color.
Work day 2b getting caulky.
Take one end of the rope and twist it in a circle as tight as you can as seen in the picture below.
Make your very own climbing rope door mat rug.
By hand expect to spend several days at 2 3hr per day.
The dimensions of the finished rug is 2 1 3 x 1 3 4.
The same knot you d make to start tying your shoes.
To start out the rug make sure your on a flat slightly slippery surface such as a wood or tile floor.
Cut your fabric strips to 1 inch.
Instead of straight stitching down the middle just go right into coiling it and attaching it with the 3 zig zag.
Loosen the knot you initially made until it resembles something similar to a large pretzel shaped figure.
1 used rope 60m is pretty common for climbing ropes.
Take the outer part of the right loop and flip it to the left so.
That reduces the area of the rug to approximately 0 32 square meters or about 1 5 x 2.
